WHILE IN CRUISE FLIGHT AT 2500' AGL THE CARBURETOR ICE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE PILOT APPLIED CARBURETOR HEAT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. AFTER THE LIGHT WENT OUT THE PILOT RETURNED THE HEAT TO 'OFF.' THE PILOT REPEATED THE ABOVE SEQUENCE AND WHEN THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR THE THIRD TIME THE ENGINE STOPPED. THE PILOT STALLED THE AIRCRAFT WHEN EXECUTING A FORCED LANDING. THE HARD LANDING CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE FIREWALL AREA.
