THE PILOT STATED THAT DURING AN ABORTED TAKEOFF, DUE TO AN ENGINE POWER LOSS, HE WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP BEFORE RUNNING OFF THE END OF THE 2600 FOOT LONG RUNWAY. HE SAID THAT WHEN HE FELT THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS READY TO FLY HE GLANCED DOWN AT INSTRUMENT PANEL AND OBSERVED 50 KIAS AND 2200 RPM. HE STATED FURTHER THAT HE RETARDED THE THROTTLE TO IDLE AND APPLIED BRAKES, BUT THE THROTTLE REDUCTION DID NOT SEEM TO MAKE THE ENGINE SLOW DOWN. FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT THE PROPELLER WAS PARTIALLY STRAIGHTENED AND THE ENGINE AND THROTTLE OPERATED NORMALLY UP TO 2200 RPM. FOLLOWING THIS, THE CARBURETOR WAS REMOVED AND INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE SATISFACTORY.
