Read the full NTSB narrative
THE ACFT MADE A FORCED LANDING SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH 200 FT AGL THE ACFT LOST POWER. THE PLT MADE A GEAR UP LANDING. THE ENGINE WAS EXAMINED AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND THE MAGNETO TIMING WAS FOUND TO BE INCORRECT. ALSO THE MAGNETO CAM RETAINING SCREW WAS LOOSE. THIS ACFT HAS A DUAL MAGNETO WITH ONE DRIVE. THEREFORE THE LOOSE SCREW ALLOWED BOTH MAGS TO BE OUT OF TIME RESULTING IN POWER LOSS OR ENGINE FAILURE. AFTER THE MAGNETOS WERE TIMED THE ENGINE RAN NORMALLY.
