Won't crank?

here is one realy strange posibility i had some years back, i had a set of belt pulleys that where nowhere near straight and if the engine stopped in the spor where those pulleys hit eachother the starter wouldnot turn the engine over until i turned the engine over with a big socket on the crank bolt but in that case you should be able to here your pulleys hit each other from time to time...

Ah, good one. But that's not the case, I've only got two pulleys... A small crank pulley and the alternator, and they're nowhere near each other.
