## Discrepancy

DURING RIGHT ENGINE STARTED, THE IGNITION FAILED.  ONCE THE ENGINE STOPPED TURN, A SECOND START WAS PERFORMED IAW 74-20-02, BEING CORRECT.  DURING OVERNIGHT CHECK, THE CABLES, SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION SYSTEM OF BOTH ENGINES WERE CHECKED IAW MM 74-10-02 AND MM 74-20-02 RESPECTIVELY, TESTED CORRECT.
