My previous Superbeetle would do that, the starter would engage and it would fire on 1/4 revolution.
Here's a thread that addresses the issue:

A 20hp watercooled altermotor with a seven-groove serpentine belt under so much tension it requires a special tool to release it.
I want one on a VW Beetle engine. A bolt-on 25% power increase, stop/start, regen and prolly 25% better gas mileage. They're $100 in the junkyards.
