Narrative:

Positioned flight from kissimmee (ism) to charleston (chs). Climbing out of ism, were given intermediate climb from 4000 ft MSL to 7000 ft. I was acting as sic and PF. The airspeed was 200 KTS and as we were given a climb from 4000 ft to 7000 ft, initially the aircraft started shaking and we heard 3-4 loud bangs. The aircraft yawed back and forth and engine indications were normal, other than N1 on r-hand (#2) engine that fluctuated between 90-98% back and forth. After takeoff check had been completed prior to the event, and the automatic power reduction was off. After evaluating situation, retarding both throttles, we smelled something burning. With the engines back, we elected to get r-hand engine back to idle. No lights on annunciator panel illuminated. The burning smell persisted and we elected to shut down r-hand (#2) engine. Left engine gauges indicated normal readings for selected power settings. We secured the r-hand engine with appropriate emergency checklists and proceeded to a normal landing. An emergency was declared by the PIC (PNF) and the emergency equipment rolled onto the ramp. After a normal landing, we proceeded to exit the runway and shortly after, we got a l-hand engine vibration light and l-hand engine oil pressure light on annunciator illuminated. We shut down the l-hand engine and were subsequently towed back to the FBO ramp.

Title: LJ-60 CREW POSSIBLY SHUT DOWN THE WRONG MALFUNCTIONING ENG.

Narrative: POSITIONED FLT FROM KISSIMMEE (ISM) TO CHARLESTON (CHS). CLBING OUT OF ISM, WERE GIVEN INTERMEDIATE CLB FROM 4000 FT MSL TO 7000 FT. I WAS ACTING AS SIC AND PF. THE AIRSPD WAS 200 KTS AND AS WE WERE GIVEN A CLB FROM 4000 FT TO 7000 FT, INITIALLY THE ACFT STARTED SHAKING AND WE HEARD 3-4 LOUD BANGS. THE ACFT YAWED BACK AND FORTH AND ENG INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL, OTHER THAN N1 ON R-HAND (#2) ENG THAT FLUCTUATED BTWN 90-98% BACK AND FORTH. AFTER TKOF CHK HAD BEEN COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE EVENT, AND THE AUTOMATIC PWR REDUCTION WAS OFF. AFTER EVALUATING SIT, RETARDING BOTH THROTTLES, WE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. WITH THE ENGS BACK, WE ELECTED TO GET R-HAND ENG BACK TO IDLE. NO LIGHTS ON ANNUNCIATOR PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE BURNING SMELL PERSISTED AND WE ELECTED TO SHUT DOWN R-HAND (#2) ENG. L ENG GAUGES INDICATED NORMAL READINGS FOR SELECTED PWR SETTINGS. WE SECURED THE R-HAND ENG WITH APPROPRIATE EMER CHKLISTS AND PROCEEDED TO A NORMAL LNDG. AN EMER WAS DECLARED BY THE PIC (PNF) AND THE EMER EQUIP ROLLED ONTO THE RAMP. AFTER A NORMAL LNDG, WE PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE RWY AND SHORTLY AFTER, WE GOT A L-HAND ENG VIBRATION LIGHT AND L-HAND ENG OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ON ANNUNCIATOR ILLUMINATED. WE SHUT DOWN THE L-HAND ENG AND WERE SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED BACK TO THE FBO RAMP.
