There are two bolts holding the starter motor. Try putting a thin washer between one of the starter mounting tabs and the block so as to top the starter away from the flywheel gear.

I have done this for a couple of people and it solved this problem.

Until I figure it out I have been careful to do the first start up from the control panel instead of the remote switch. I have never been a fan of grabbing spark plug wires (been zapped too many times). I just reach down and pull the 12 volt wire off the starter solenoid and that shuts it down.
