## Discrepancy

ENROUTE, WHEN STARTING A CLIMB FROM 36000 TO 38000, RT ENGINE ROLLED BACK TO IDLE. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS MADE TO RECOVER POWER UNSUCCESSFULLY.  ENGINE DID NOT FLAME OUT. CONTINUED FLIGHT AT IDLE POWER, AT LOWER ALTITUDE.  THE FLIGHT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND DIVERTED. THE FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  AT 4000 FT, THERE WAS SOME RECOVERY.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED RT ENGINE FUEL FLOW GOVERNOR.
