Usually only? or only?....starts upon release.
So you have an aftermarket "V8" ignition switch? No foot stomp? no bush button? You have the spring loaded key switch? Electric solenoid starter? Please give more specific info and answer each question, so we can figure this out without a bunch of guesses. What year is the motor? Been starting fine, just suddenly began this problem? Did you do some wiring recently? Change some parts? What's the history of this? Automatic transmission with solenoid starter? 1954 had foot stomp mostly.
I am thinking there is a bypass system here and a miswired ignition switch. No juice to coil during cranking, only juice to coil at "run". But I think a 51/54 6V would have no bypass system. So I'm trying to extract info from you to see if hybrid.
