## Discrepancy

DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE TAB ON THE STARTER THAT THE BELT TENSIONER PULLEY ATTACHES TO WAS SHEARED AT THE HOUSING.  THE PART ONLY HAD 128.4 HOURS ON IT AND WAS RETURNED FOR WARRANTY.  THE PART MANUFACTURER IS SKY TEC BUT I COULDN`T ENTER THAT BRAND NAME.
