This happened in my '84...

The problem is in the ignition switch where once you let go of the 50 track ("start" position) it goes to a little spot clockwise of the contact for the 30 track ("on" position). It happens when a cheap ignition switch is used and it wears this gap between the contacts. The way you can test for this is to immediately put a little counter-clockwise pressure on it after the engine starts to hold it against the contact before the engine dies.
