I was given a new starter yesterday by the shop I took my old one to be serviced at.

I spent all morning fixing vacuum lines and an oil filler that wouldnt stop syphoning.

I got a few good cranks out of the new starter and on the last crank, I release the button (push-button start) and the starter motor keeps spinning...and spinning....and spinning....
until I got fed up and disconnected the battery cables.

The solenoid wasnt engaging, ie. its not cranking the flywheel or anything, but the starter just sits there spinning itself silly as soon as I try to reconnect the battery cables.

Now, I know its a short somewhere...how it developed outta nowhere is the frustrating part lol all the starter circuit relays are mint, and all the wires look great from what I can see.

Help?
