Re: starter problems
The starter solenoid is attached to the starter itself. If you were to look at the starter from underneath, you would first see the starter itself, then on top, the solenoid.
I would check the connections on the solenoid. Sounds like to me, something is jumping the 2 terminals, causing the starter to run. You should have the wire from pos. battery and a pair of red wires connected to a loop going to largest terminal. The smaller terminal is for the other wire coming from alt wire harness.

Re: starter problems
If you smack a solenoid with a hammer, you get a busted solenoid.
