THE ACFT CRASHED DURING A FORCED LANDING AFTER THE ENGINE QUIT. THE ACFT HAD A PRIOR FORCED LANDING AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS SUSPECT. POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT ONLY ONE SAFETY PIN WAS INSTALLED IN THE FUEL SELECTOR SHAFT ALLOWING EXCESSIVE FREE PLAY. ALSO THE GASCOLATOR HAD A LEAKING GASKET WHICH ALLOWED AIR INTO THE SYSTEM TO CAUSE STOPPAGE. DURING THE LAST ANNUAL INSPECTION 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THE LEAKING GASKET WAS DISCOVERED BUT THE OWNERDID NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE HE WAS UNABLE TO FIND ONE.
