Starter Solenoid
I'm having a strange problem with my port engine that I'm hoping I can get some help with. When I turn the key to the "run" position, the starter runs and the engine will start without ever turning the key to the "start" position. I can't really tell if the starter stays engaged once the engine starts, but I think that it disengages.
Does this sound like the starter solenoid is stuck in the "on" position? Why doesn't the starter run even with the key in the "off" position like it would in a car? is there something else that cuts the power to the starter when the key is "off"?
Any help with this will be very much appreciated.
