APPROX 8 MILES FROM THE AIRPORT THE PILOT "BUMPED" THE POWER LEVER AND FOUND IT TO BE "FREE" THE PILOT THEN PERFORMED AN AIRSTART AND LANDED W/O INCIDENT.  POST FLT INVESTIGATION AND INSPECTION BY MX PERSONNEL FOUND THE CONTROL SYSTEM TO BE PROPERLY RIGGED AND FUNCTIONING NORMALLY.  A/C DEPARTED FAIRBANKS AND RETURNED TO ANCHORAGE WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS.
