I don't remember exactly which Italian bike it was, but I certainly had a starter button that used to stick down and no amount of lubrication made it any better. When I got inside, I found the clearances were just too tight, so it needed some careful work with a blade to shave plastic away from the bits that stuck. Luckily, it never stuck for long enough to damage the solenoid or starter.
