## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON A RECENT TRIP TO SEVERAL REMOTE AIRFIELDS, THE FLIGHT CREW EXPERIENCED REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH GETTING THE NR 1 ENGINE STARTED, SOMETIMES TAKING 2 OR 3 ATTEMPTS TO GET STARTED.  AFTER THE ACFT RETURNED TO HOME BASE, WE WERE UNABLE TO START NR 1 ENGINE, FURTHER INVESTIGATION DETERMINED BOTH IGNITORS WERE WORN PAST LIMITS AND BARELY FIRING.
