The airplane departed the Willow Airport (PAUO), Willow, Alaska after having wheel skis installed and was flying to Talkeetna Airport (PATK) Talkeetna Alaska. The pilot stated that he was about 3 miles to the south of PATK and was beginning his descent to land, he reported pulling full carburetor heat and shortly thereafter the engine lost all power.
