C-GTJX, a Transwest Air Ltd. (dba Rise Air) SAAB 340B, was on a flight from Saskatoon/John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (CYXE), SK to Fond-du-Lac Airport (CZFD), SK. While on route, the flight crew noticed a stiff right power lever. While troubleshooting, the right engine torque dropped to 0 and the engine appeared to auto-coarsen. The flight crew conducted the precautionary shutdown procedure of the right-hand engine and declared an emergency. The flight crew diverted to Stony Rapids (CYSF), SK where the aircraft landed safely.
Upon inspection by the operator's maintenance, it was noted that the stiff control linkage was likely caused by moisture ingression and freezing. They noticed that during the cleaning and purge of a right-hand cable segment from the nacelle to the engine, a black residue was noted. The segment was replaced and all engine controls were subsequently inspected and tested, with no further faults were found.
