## Discrepancy

DURING TAXI TO POSITION, PILOT HEARD UNUSUAL STATIC ON HEADSET AND A LARGER THAN NORMAL AMPS DRAW.  RETURNED TO CHOCKS; WHILE STILL RUNNING CHECKED SYSTEM AND SUDDENLY ALL APPEARED NORMAL.  ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN, MAINTENANCE WAS CONTACTED.  A RESTART WAS TRIED BUT NO STARTER ENGAGEMENT.  STARTER AND CONTACTOR WAS CHANGED.  UPON INVESTIGATION, APPEARS STARTER REMAINED ENERGIZED DUE TO FAULTY CONTACTOR. THIS FRIED THE STARTER.
