Re: Starter just keeps going?

Benny, it's hard to say without having a test done on the starter. If it overheated enough to break down the insulation on the wiring you could have problems with it, but starters are designed for severe duty so it is probably fine.

The thing to remember is solenoid contacts don't just weld together for no reason. There is something causing it to happen, whether it is a mechanical bind, or welded contacts, or excessive heat from extended cranking. If the contacts are pitted it will happen again. At the very least you should inspect the contacts for weld marks and pitting.

I'm sorry for any drama on the thread, I just want to help you figure out the problem.
