## Discrepancy

THE STARTER (P/N 149-NL) FAILED TO OPERATE.  UPON INSPECTION FOUND THE MOTOR ASSY IS TWISTED ON THE FWD FRAME OF THE STARTER ASSY.  THIS IS THE 4TH STARTER REPLACED SINCE APRIL 2009 ON THIS ACFT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.  THERE IS ONLY ONE PILOT FOR THIS AIRPLANE AND VERIFIED HE DOES FOLLOW PROPER STARTING PROCEDURES.
