## Discrepancy

ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN TEST CELL DURING POST-RENTAL INSPECTION TEST.  THE ENGINE WAS AT FULL POWER AT THE TIME OF SHUT DOWN.  REMOVAL OF THE FUEL CONTROL SHOWED A SHEARED DRIVE SHAFT.  REMOVAL OF THE HYDRAULIC HOUSING FROM THE LINKAGE HOUSING ON THE CONTROL SHOWED A SEIZED SPEED GOVERNOR PILOT VALVE IN THE SPIDER.  THE CONTROL WAS RE-ASSEMBLED AND IS BEING ROUTED TO AAR FOR INVESTIGATION.
