During initial climb, about 100 feet AGL, the airplane's engine lost total power. A forced landing was made in a wheat field and during the rollout the airplane nosed over. Post accident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any anomalies. The airplane's fuel tanks were full and the fuel selector was selected to the 'BOTH' position. The carburetor was torn away from the engine and the throttle linkage to the carburetor was damaged.
