## Discrepancy

AS TAKEOFF POWER WAS APPLIED, THE LEFT ENGINE EPR INDICATION WOULD NOT REACH TARGET EPR LEVEL.  CREW ABORTED TAKEOFF AND RETURNED TO GATE.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE LEFT ENGINE EPR TRANSMITTER AND EPR INDICATOR.  ENGINE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS OK, ALL PARAMETERS WERE NORMAL, AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
