## Discrepancy

PILOT ATTEMPTED START BUT STARTER WOULD NOT CRANK. UPON VISUAL INSP OF STARTER FOUND BENDIX HAD STUCK IN THE EXTENDED POSITION ON THE PREVIOS START CAUSINING THE GEAR TO BREAK AND BREAKING 2 MOUNTING PADS OF THE BENDIX HOUSING. DAMAGE WAS ALSO NOTED ON THE ENGINE RING GEAR. STARTER AND RING GEAR REPLACED AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
