since you have hei...take the "resistor" wire off of the solenoid(R terminal),try it and see what happens.....PS that wire is not a resistor wire,with org. coil it went to the coil side of the resistor OR resistor wire to give full voltage to coil for starting ...you may be getting voltage to the start wire somehow from that wire (the r terminal) if so it wont stop cranking
