DURING CLIMB-OUT FROM A LAKE, ABOUT 300 TO 400 FEET ABOVE TERRAIN COVERED WITH 'HIGH' TREES, THE AIRPLANE'S ENGINE LOST TOTAL POWER. THE PILOT MANUEVERED THE AIRPLANE TO ANOTHER LAKE NEARBY AND MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING. POST ACCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE AND FUEL SYSTEM REVEALED THAT THERE WAS A PIECE OF RUBBER-LIKE MATERIAL IN THE FUEL HEADER TANK. THE ORIGIN OF THE MATERIAL WAS NOT DETERMINED. DURING THE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION, THE MATERIAL WAS MANIPULATED INSIDE THE FUEL HEADER TANK TO COVER THE FUEL PORT WHICH LEADS TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE MATERIAL COVERED THE FUEL PORT CAUSING FUEL FLOW TO THE FUEL PUMP TO BE BLOCKED.
