## Discrepancy

PILOTS REPORTED NO LIGHT OFF WITH AN ABORTED START.  BOTH IGNITERS REMOVED FROM THE ENGINE AND THE LEADS INSPECTED FOR CONDITION.  BOTH LEADS WERE FOUND TO HAVE ARCING DAMAGE JUST ABOVE THE CERAMIC TIP THAT INSTALLS IN EACH IGNITER. BOTH LEADS CHANGED AND FUNCTION TESTED WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES.  ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
