When I got the car off of the flatbed, I decided to try and restart it since it did restart after several minutes after dyeing. No such luck. The starter switch decided to stick and the only thing I could do is start kicking things to try and stop the starter from burning up.
My question, what do you do when a starter switch decides to stick? And, what do I look for to fix it?
After looking at it closely, it appears that there is a lot of slop in the rod coming through the firewall. Does this make any difference?
Thanks in advance for all comments.

think of putting a cut off switch in the grounding wire to be able to cut all power off
