## Discrepancy

APU WOULD HANG AT 250-300 DEGREES FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS DURING START AND THEN ACCELERATE.  APU WAS MAKING CHUGGING EXHAUST NOISES WHEN RUNNING.  SB GTCP85-49-7484 INCORPORATES A NEW FUEL CONTROL AND ATOMIZER/ LINER ASSEMBLY, PN 3604524-54 TO IMPROVE START TIMES.  REPLACED FUEL CONTROL AND ATOMIZER/LINER ASSEMBLY IAW THE SB AND AMM.  APU STARTS MUCH QUICKER NOW AND NO LONGER MAKES CHUGGING NOISES WHEN OPERATING.
