If they are damaged, first thing is change the old relay (obviously)...so, maybe the problem is only that.
This saturday i think to have just a little time to remove the protection and look the old relay conditions. I also can restore the clutch switch...
Someone, here in Italy, say to install a push button (temporary) to connect directly the battery with the starter, this in case i have te same problem, i can try if the problem is the relay or the starter...
Could be a different solution?

I don't know if you can open the old START relay to inspect it w/o destroying it. OR, once you've removed it, would it not make sense to just replace it with a new one and not worry about the old one.
A push-button solution, making a direct battery to starter connection, as a back-up, could work.
And, then there's the starter solenoid contacts - which can also become worn out - arching again - nothing you can do about that except replace the burnt posts and solenoid armature/contact ring (or recondition the copper contact ring with some sand paper (is what I did).
