Narrative:

Leveling at FL410; right engine flamed out. Asked center for FL250; he responded not to descend below FL390. Unable to comply we informed him we had an engine failure and needed a low altitude. Controller declared an emergency and gave us a 30 degree left turn due to traffic conflict. We descended to FL250; performed an engine restart; and continued the flight to destination normally. Corrective action -- readjust fuel control unit. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the aircraft had just received an adjustment to the fuel control to correct a hard starting condition.
