## Discrepancy

OWNER COMPLAINED OF STARTER BENDIX HARD TO ENGAGE.  ON INSP, TURNED ON MASTER SWITCH AND ENGINE STARTED CRACKING.  STARTER SOLENOID WAS STUCK ENGAGED.  REPLACED STARTER SOLENOID P/N S1577-1.  MASTER SOLENOID LOOKED BURNED, SO IT WAS REPLACED WITH P/N S1580-1.  CHECKED BATTERY AND FOUND IT VERY LOW ON WATER, THE CASE WAS WARPED AND THE TERMINALS BLACK AND PARTIALLY MELTED.  BELIEVE THE STARTER SOLENOID WAS ENGAGED IN-FLIGHT WHICH CAUSED THE BATTERY TO OVERHEAT.  REPLACED BATTERY AND STARTER BENDIX.  THE SOLENOIDS ARE LOCATED CLOSE TO THE RT MUFFLER WHICH SEEMS TO CAUSE EXCESSIVE HEAT ON THEM.
