THE ACFT NOSED OVER AFTER OVERRUNNING THE AIRSTRIP FOLLOWING A LOSS OF PWR. THE PLT REPORTED THE ENG BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AND THE APPLICATION OF CARB HEAT DID NOT INCREASE THE PWR. DURING THE LANDING APCH THE ENG BEGAN RUNNIN ROUGHER AND ABOUT 1/2 OF THE NORMAL PWR COULD BE PRODUCED. FULL PWR WAS GAINED ON THE DOWNWIND LEG OF THE PATTERN AND THE PLT ELECTED TO GO-AROUND AS THE ACFT ALT WAS TOO HIGH FOR A LANDING. WHEEN APPROACHING THE TURN TO BASE LEG, A TOTAL LOSS OF PWR WAS EXPERIENCED. THE ACFT WAS LANDED MID-FLD ON THE DIRT AIRSTRIP.
