## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT ENGAGED IN AERIAL APPLICATION OF CHEMICALS (DRY FERTILIZER).  EXPERIENCED LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND MADE A FORCED LANDING.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE AND THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED.  INVESTIGATION OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED THE THROTTLE CONTROL PUSH/PULL TUBE SEPARATED FROM THE CARBURETOR THROTTLE ARM.  DRILLED BOLT, NUT, AND COTTER PIN WERE MISSING.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS BOLT INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CHECKED FREQUENTLY.
