THE ACFT STALLED AND LANDED HARD OFF THE SIDE OF THE RWY DURING A FORCED LANDING. THE PLT SAID THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING DURING INITIAL CLIMB AT 150-200 FT AGL. HE TRIED TO LAND ON THE REMAINING RWY. THE PLT LATER SAID HE THOUGHT THE POWER LOSS WAS DUE TO CARBURETOR AIR BLOCKAGE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 87 DEGREES AND THE DEW POINT WAS 60 DEGREES F, WHICH IS CONDUCIVE TO CARBURETOR ICING.
