## Discrepancy

DURING RUN UP, MAGETO FAILED TEST.  LESS THAN 1 HR OPERATION AFTER OVERHAULED MAGETOS INSTALLED.   DURING  INSPECTION FOUND THE CAPACITOR LOOSE IN HOUSING AND COIL WIRE LOOSE AND MAGETO SET IN E GAP.  REMOVED OTHER MAG AS A PRECAUTION AND FOUND ITS COIL WIRE LOOSE AND ALSO SET IN E GAP. CORRECTED THE ISSUE AND REINSTALLED MAGS, OPS CHECKED OK.
