## Discrepancy

STARTER DRIVE STARTED MAKING NOISE WHEN CRANKING ENGINE.  WHEN STARTER WAS REMOVED, LOWER FLANGE OF STARTER DRIVE WAS FOUND TO BE BROKEN.  WHEN ''STARTER DRIVE'' SHAFT WAS TURNED AFTER REMOVAL FROM ENGINE, IT WAS VERY NOISY LIKE A VERY BAD BEARING OR SOMETHING.  THE ABOVE IS NOT PART OF THE STARTER.  (X)
