## Discrepancy

DURING TAKE OFF PREPORATION, PILOT ADVANCED POWER LEVERS AND NOTED THAT THE LT ENGINE POWER DID NOT RESPOND. THE TAKEOFF WAS ABORTED, BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN RELEASED, THEY RETURNED TO THE RAMP, NO EMERGENCY ACTIONS REQUIRED. SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION REVEALED THE POWER LEVER CABLE HAD BROKEN INSIDE THE CABLE HOUSING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
