CHECKS NORMAL.  VERIFIED EEC MANUAL REVERSION FOR OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT.  BOTH ENGINES CHECK OK.  REMOVED RIGGING DOOR, OPEN LEFT COWL (OUTBOARD), INSPECTED LEFT ENGINE POWER LEVER LINKAGES AND ATTACHMENTS FOR CONDITION AND SECURITY.  CHECKS GOOD.  RIG DOOR REINSTALLED.  COWL SECURED.  UNABLE TO DUPLICATE SQUAWK.
