[alfa] Funny starting condition

[TMurray845@xxxxxxx]

Hi Gang,
Here is a question that puzzles me and I need some help from some in the know 
type Alfa folks.
In working in a friend's 86 spider I have replaced the ignition switch and 
the starter has been rebuilt, along with a recent head gasket.  new 
plugs/wires/cap and rotor, and coil.
When cranking, it is not getting spark.  It will crank and crank with not 
spark.
Funny part is when I turn the key and crank the starter, and let go of start 
and quickly hit start again without the starter having a chance to stop 
spinning, Bingo it gets spark and cranks, but if I let the starter come to a 
complete rest and hit start it won't start.  Of course I have to reset the key 
quickly to get this to work.   I have cleaned all kinds of grounds and connections, 
but am wondering about a relay somewhere that might be doing something funny. 
What ya think? Pretty crazy to me, but there has to be some form of logic to 
this.
Thanks for your help!
