## Discrepancy

E2 DEGRADED FROM FULL POWER MP AT 25", AND FUEL FLOW IN BOUND WITH NO FREIGHT.  AFTER DEPARTURE, NR 2 ENGINE WOULD ONLY PRODUCE 25" OF MP.  FUEL FLOW WAS LOW.

ACFT MAINTAINED ALTITUDE AND SPEED, VFR CONDITIONS, LOW DENSITY ALTITUDE, NR 1 ENGINE WAS RUNNING WELL AT 40".  DIVERTED, LANDED SAFELY. FOUND EXHAUST DUCT CRACKED.
