What happened
The aircraft was engaged in a trans-Pacific ferry flight from the continental United States to Indonesia. Following a stop in Hilo, Hawaii, the pilot departed on an inter-island cross-country flight toward Honolulu.
During the flight, the pilot observed excessively high cylinder head temperatures and felt a vibration within the airframe. In response, the pilot diverted to Lani and landed the aircraft. While on the ground, the pilot inspected the engine compartment and conducted a ground run-up, which revealed no discrepancies.
Upon departing again to continue the flight to Honolulu, the engine quit completely at approximately 200 feet AGL. The pilot attempted to maneuver the aircraft into a grassy area near the departure end of the runway, but the aircraft collided with a berm that was hidden within tall grass. No injuries were reported.
The aircraft was equipped with a 196-gallon ferry fuel tank system installed in the cabin.
