## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHEN THROTTLE WAS RETARDED DURING ENGINE START, T4 CONTINUED TO INCREASE. EMERGENCY SHUTOFF PULLED AND ENGINE MOTORED AS T4 REACHED 900C FOR 2 SECONDS.  INVESTIGATION FOUND THE THROTTLE LINK DISCONNECTED BUT THE LOCKING PIN WAS PROPERLY ENGAGED AND IN THE PROPER POSITION. INCIDENT WAS DUPLICATED 2 OUT OF 3 TIME ON TESTING. PARTS INSPECTED AND FOUND, END EQUIPPED AND BALL JOINT BOTH WORN. (TC NR 20080205005)
