The switch would stick the first few times I tried starting it, so when I released the starter button she just kept on cranking! Someone from my club suggested tapping on the switch to "unstick" it, which we had to do several times. The insulating material inside the switch had warped, causing the copper strip to stick against the contact. No issues since I fixed the switch, and I have also since installed a battery disconnect switch.

After removing and reinstalling the engine it never lined up again.

The hand starter was made by Fulton (and maybe other manufacturers as well). Fulton had a line of aftermarket auto accessories - I think they're still in business. You can't retire on what you'd get for a pull-up starter but they are worth some money.
