Probable cause
The fracture and separation of the mixture control cable housing from the carburetor mounting bracket, which resulted in fuel starvation due to an overlean condition, and the pilot's failure to maintain an adequate airspeed while stretching the glide to the field which resulted in an inadvertent stall/mush and a hard landing.
