## Discrepancy

UPON 1ST START OF THE DAY, NR 1 ENG WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40 PERCENT NI. PROBLEM WAS TROUBLESHOT & ALL INDICATION POINTED TO THE AFCU.  A NEW UNIT WAS THEN INSTALLED & THE ACFT WAS SUCCESSFULLY STARTED.  THAT PROVED THE ORIGINAL AFCU WAS THE FAULTY COMPONENT.  THE AFCU WAS 18.8 HRS OUT OF O/H.
