## Discrepancy

(CAN) SNAG REPORTED THAT ACFT WOULD NOT START. UPON INVESTIGATING IT WAS NOTED THAT THE STARTER HOUSING WHERE IT ATTACHES TO ENGINE WAS BROKEN. ALSO NOTED THAT THE BENDIX DRIVE TEETH WERE MISSING/SHEARED OFF. ENGINE CASE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE, NONE FOUND NEW STARTER INSTALLED AND FUNCTION CHECKED SERVICEABLE. A CHECK ON STARTER SOLENOID SHOWED NO FAULTS.  SUSPECT STARTER WAS RE-ENGAGED BY PILOT AFTER ENGINE WAS RUNNING.
