## Discrepancy

DURING ATTEMPTED START OF AIRCRAFT ENGINE WOULD NOT START.  MAINTENANCE TECH TROUBLESHOOTING START SYSTEM FOUND THAT DC POWER WAS GETTING TO STARTER HOWEVER NO POWER WAS COMING OUT OF STARTER.  PROBABLE CAUSE IS AN INTERNAL FAILURE WITH THE STARTER.  STARTER SENT BACK TO MFG FOR ANALYSIS AND AT THIS TIME NO RECOMMENDATION TO PREVENT RECURRENCE.
