## Discrepancy

DURING THE START SEQUENCE WHEN THE PILOT SELECTED THE START POSITION THE STARTER WOULD NOT RESPOND.  THE PILOT COULD HEAR THE SOUND OF RELAY CONTACTS BUT THE STARTER WOULD NOT RESPOND.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS EXAMINED BY A LINE TECHNICIAN WHO REPORTED THE ELECTRICAL MASTER SMELLED OVERHEATED AND BURNED.  THE UNIT WAS REMOVED, OVERHEATING.  REPLACEMENT UNIT OF THE SAME PN WAS INSTALLED AND THE STARTER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONED NORMALLY.  (K)
