## Discrepancy

PILOTS REPORTED A PARALLELING PROBLEM WITH THE GENERATORS.  INSPECTION REVEALED BOTH STARTER/GENERATOR GROUND CONNECTIONS WERE LOOSE.  MINOR ARCING WAS NOTED ON LEFT GROUND.  BOTH CONNECTIONS WERE CLEANED AND RESEATED.  THIS CONDITION RESULTED FROM IMPROPER TORQUE OF ATTACHING HARDWARE.
