Aircraft; Procedure
Attempted (most time loss of power) off airport landing on county/ranch road 2 miles north of ZZZ. On left base as I raised the nose to reduce airspeed; engine surged to near full power and I overshot the road. Made a 180 degree turn to return to the road; but altitude not sufficient. If engine power is available only part time throttle to idle or ignition off.
Pilot reported complications when attempting an off airfield emergency landing due to engine failure.
