ACCORDING TO THE CARETAKER OF MUHLENBURG AIRPORT, N143W WAS HAVING CARBURETOR PROBLEMS WHEN IT ARRIVED TO REFUEL PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT FLIGHT. THE CARETAKER STATED THAT THE PILOT LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE HE REFUELED BECAUSE THE PILOT SAID IT WOULDN'T START. APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER DEPARTURE FROM THE REFUELING STOP THE PILOT STATED THE AIRCRAFT LOST POWER AND HE WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING. DURING THE LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT RAN UP A SLOPE IN A STRIP MINE, JUMPED A DITCH, THEN NOSED OVER AND BURNED.
