The aircraft just had what amounts to an engine failure. The fact that it occurred on the ground doesn't change that. I would write it up and not fly it again until the aircraft had been repaired and signed off by maintenance.

On another note, I don't like it when an pilot uses the words "comfortable" or "uncomfortable" when making an aeronautical decision. That is a cop out. A Part 121 aircrew ought to be able to articulate why they will or won't take an airplane or flight.
