starter sticks on

can someone please tell me why when i start my mav the starter keeps rolling?seems like everytime i put something new something else goes bad

 

The solenoid is bad. Just get a new starter, as they come with the solenoid and are only around $25.00 ...

 

Either the starter is hanging up, or the solenoid is. Easiest wat to figure out which it is, is to take the starter cable off the solenoid, Then just hold it tightly against the post, get someone to start it, once its running and sounding like its dragging, pull the wire off. If it keeps running, you have a binding problem with the starter. If it stops, the solenoid is the problem, or the wiring going to the solenoid.

 

ok thanks guys so is the solenoid on the starter or on the fire wall its a 77 with a i6

 

some have a solenoid on the starter but thats for extra torque they mean this kind
