I have had very good luck with the starters from Boat US. They have a huge list of starters to choose from that will fit your aplication.

That is very odd. What exactly is it doing, or not doing?

MSD makes a switch that retards the timing on just on startup for easier starts. it may help.

Default ignition on delay

if the advance on your ignition system is loading the starter you can install a seperate ignition kill switch and turn ignition on after the motor is cranking at full speed.
