THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING FLOWN TO CHECK IT AFTER SOME MINOR MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED. DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL AT ABOUT 84 KTS, THE PILOT NOTED A DROP IN THE FUEL FLOW TO THE RIGHT ENGINE, FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER ON THE RIGHT SIDE. HE ABORTED THE TAKEOFF, BUT WHEN HE REALIZED THAT HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO STOP ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY, HE ELECTED TO GO OFF THE RIGHT SIDE. SUBSEQUENTLY THE AIRCRAFT, WENT THROUGH A FENCE AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. NO PRE-ACCIDENT, MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE WAS FOUND DURING THE INVESTIGATION.
