Not quite related to the starter, but I've been warned against header wraps
because they keep so much heat in that the pipes might warp. Headers are
expensive.
If you have room for it, you might want to put a small heatshield between
the starter and the pipe, alternatively, get a small dakota starter as it
would give you a little more room.
I wonder if the starter maybe is out of lubrication, if you've had it a
small eternity, maybe the slight thermal expansion and lack of grease makes
it bind. Could be time to remove and go through the starter.

Before I go and try to fiddle around with fabricating a sheet-metal heat
sheild or buying heat insulating wrapping for the pipe, is there something
that I'm not understanding here?
