Read the full NTSB narrative
THE ACFT CRASHED SHORTLY AFTER DECLARING AN 'EMERGENCY.' A WITNESS SAW THE ACFT, BUT HEARD NO ENG SOUND PRIOR TO THE CRASH. EXAMINATION OF ENG FAILED TO REVEAL ANY DISCREPANCIES. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CARBURETOR WAS EXAMINED NO FUEL WAS FOUND IN THE LINE BETWEEN THE ENG DRIVEN FUEL PUMP AND THE CARB. THE CARB WAS EMPTY OF USEABLE FUEL.
