Read the full NTSB narrative
AFTER THE DESCENT, THE PILOT APPLIED POWER AND THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO GET THE ENGINE RUNNING AT FULL POWER WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES BUT IT QUIT COMPLETELY APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 MILES FROM THE AIRPORT. THE AIRPLANE WAS LANDED IN TALL GRASS AND FLIPPED FORWARD TO THE INVERTED POSITION. INSPECTION INDICATED FUEL IN THE SYSTEM BUT FUEL IN THE FILTER BOWL WAS CONTAMINATED WITH A FIBER MATERIAL THAT WAS STOPPING THE FUEL FLOW. THE COMPOSITE FLOAT IN THE CARBURETOR WAS ALSO DETERIORATED AND WAS CREATING A RESTRICTION TO THE FUEL FLOW.
