Its funny, Ive worked on starters and generators and alternators for years and have never had a starter to stay engaged like this one.I dont see why it could be the solenoid but if the plunger is hanging up in the solenoid I guess that would keep the starter motor running on after I let off the switch. Maybe if tropical storm Hanna dont kick our butts tomorrow Ill check it out.

Well, after the storm blew by I went out and pulled the starter off. I pulled the solenoid off and replaced it with one off of my old starter and now it seems to work fine. I guess thats what it was. Ill try and take it this week and run it and see how it does. Hopefully it will be ok.

I don't think Advance sells marine starters and you really should only use a marine starter.

Yea, they had to order this one and its a true marine starter. It was remaned by CLI marine Div. They put a cheap a$$ solenoid on it though, the rest of it looks OK. Ive replaced the solenoid and now it seems alright!
