## Discrepancy

STARTER HAD WORKED FOR 2 STARTS EARLIER IN THE DAY.  THE 3RD FLIGHT ATTEMPT, THE STARTER DIDN'T WORK AT ALL.  CHECKED CONNECTIONS THEY WERE TIGHT. HAD PLENTY OF VOLTAGE INDICATED. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IN THE STARTER.  ITS UNDER WARRANTY RETURNED TO THE MFG.  REPLACEMENT STARTER WORKED FINE.
