The aircraft experienced an electrical failure while en route from Flinders Island to Latrobe Valley. The pilot continued to Latrobe Valley and made a landing approach behind another aircraft. The aircraft was on final approach when the pilot realised the aircraft was too low and applied the throttle to correct the situation. The engine missed then fired again. The pilot then checked the carburettor heat setting and found it to be in the hot position. He then pumped the throttle and the engine kept losing and gaining power and then ran normally. Because of the low altitude and that there was a powerline ahead, the pilot elected to land in a small cleared area. The aircraft touched down heavily and impacted a fence before coming to a halt.
