Narrative:

Was taking off at night from sibley, ia. Snowing, snow on runway. Left engine on takeoff failed to come up to full power. Aircraft left the left side of runway. Ground was frozen. Aircraft runway departure corrected with right rudder. Carriage came back onto runway except for main gear. Added power and aircraft came back onto runway. No engine stoppage. I believe as I taxied back down the runway that we had not hit anything. Checked engine power normal, run-up, etc. Nothing abnormal. Takeoff that followed was normal. The aircraft had 2 new engines and the left power lever had been reported binding or dragging when it was test flown after engine installation. I had noticed it on the previous takeoff out of oma, but failed to remember the problem on this initial takeoff. Anyhow, upon landing at oma, it was found that 1 block on the left engine had struck a runway light. Damage was minimal. No vibration, etc.
