## Discrepancy

ENGINE START WAS ABORTED AFTER PUSHBACK WHEN THE NR 2 ENGINE REACHED 500 DEGREES.  THE NR 2 ENGINE COWLING WAS OPENED WHICH REVEALED AN UNCONTAINED STARTER FAILURE.  THE STARTER HAD DAMAGED THE SECONDARY FUEL SUPPLY MANIFOLD.  THE STARTER AND FUEL MANIFOLD WERE REMOVED AND REPLACED.  LEAK AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.
