Did you take the starter back to the rebuilder and let them test it?
Has to be current going through the switch plunger for the lever to be grounding it. So something inside the switch or starter is messed up.
Not that I think it makes any difference, but the cables are correct on the battery?
The switch on the top of the starter is pretty straight forward in how it works. The post the battery cable hooks to has to be insulated from the switch case. And it must be or it would spark like mad when you hook up the cables. The plunger simply has a bar that when the plunger goes down, this bar makes contact between the post the cable hooks to, and the main cable inside the starter. The only way the plunger of the switch can be causing this is if the plunger of the switch is some how not insulated from the bar attached to it.
Can you get any pics of your starter set up and post a link?
