Some of the reproduction starter switches (Vintique again) don't have enough spring in the copper contact . Best to use an original switch and/or parts.

I saw somewhere (Tiny Tips maybe??) where someone suggest using a ½ piece of garden hose to act as a return spring.

Mine stuck a couple of weeks ago but it was partially my fault. We were on our way to our club's annual picnic. My engine didn't want to start. Instead of getting out and seeing what the issue was, I just kept cranking. Tack welded itself together... Reminder to myself, don't do that!!

Well, we left the Ol' Girl Home. Next day I discovered the carbon teet in the center of the distributor cap was GONE.
