THE AIRPLANE WAS FLOWN ON A CHECK FLIGHT AFTER MAINTENANCE FOR AN OIL-AND-FILTER CHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF LEAKING GASKETS. DURING THE INITIAL CLIMB AFTER TAKEOFF, THE PILOT NOTED A MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER, PROMPTING A TURN TOWARDS THE AIRPORT. THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER IN THE TURN. DURING A LANDING SHORT OF THE RUNWAY, THE AIRPLANE HIT A FENCE. THE MAIN FUEL LINE CONNECTION TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS FOUND LOOSE. WHEN THE BOOST PUMP WAS ENERGIZED, THE LOOSE FITTING LEAKED SUBSTANTIALLY.
