## Discrepancy

NR 2 ENGINE TORQUE BEGAN SURGING/FLUCTUATING  +-15 PERCENT AT TAKE OFF.  CONTINUED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES WITHOUT OTHER GAUGE INDICATIONS.  TRIED MANUAL FUEL CONTROL (DROPPED AS IT SHOULD TO 68 PERCENT TORQUE), RESELECTED ECU.  FO COULD FEEL SURGES. AFTER STEADYING OUT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, SURGES BECAME +- 20 PERCENT AND WE BROUGHT POWER TO IDLE, PROP MIN. - STABLE AFTER THAT.  INSPECTED AND CHECKED NR 2 ENGINE POWER AND CONDITION LEVERS.  FOUND NR 2 ENGINE OUT OF RIG.  RIGGED NR 2 ENGINE POWER AND CONDITION LEVERS IAW DHC 8 ENGINE RIGGING MANUAL.  GROUND RUN CHECK GOOD.
