Hi Stevan,
I also have a 73 Berlina with the same starter set up as you and have the exact
same starter oddity. So far it has always eventually started, but sometimes
does take a few turns of the key with nothing but a click.
Next time I go out to the shop [likely this weekend] I was going to start
cleaning everything in the electrical path between the ignition and the starter
and see if that had any effect. I'll let you know what happens.

Subject: [alfa] Starter oddity
I have the older giant starter (with brace kit now) that takes the
non-stock ring gear for my year. Recently, when turning the key to start, the first
one or two times there is nothing but a solenoid click. By the 3rd or 4th
time, it usually starts as normal. Sometimes, it's completely normal.
What's my troubleshooting repair path on this one? I have a spare starter I
can have rebuilt.
