You need to determine if the problem is the push rod to switch misalignment causing binding, or if you have a weak contact strap inside the switch.

Nlbloch,

Sometimes you will find, after removing the switch, is that either the starter stud and/or nut are not solid copper. I have seen copper coated steel, and if that is the case the switch strap will weld itself to the steel once the copper coating has warn away.
