Hi everybody,

I have a 4320, the ignition switch was sticking so I replaced it with a new one. I go to start it, it turns the engine over like it should, but when I turn the switch off the starter just keeps on going. I had to jump off and disconnect the battery to stop it, by this time the poles on ther cellinoid are cherry red. Does any one have any ideas? Thank you very much.

Time to chuck that solenoid in the trash barrel. If it wasn't faulty to begin with. It can't be trusted after seeing that kind of heat and service. The starter motor has taken a beating as well. Can't hurt to look for burned brushes, burned commutator and melted solder joints.

there is a relay above the starter also that can stick if it does it again tap the selenoid with somthing and I think it will stop if it does then it is the selenoid

Lot of that going around lately. New correct switch from JD or some other aftermarket switch and maybe wired back wrong? Was it working right before? Were any other problems with wiring before you replaced switch? Make sure it correct switch and it's wired right or some other wires didn't melt together or short out. Was solenoid sticking before some too? You can take it apart cleaning the contacts inside and cleaning disc or rotating it. Auto supplies even have contact kits for solenoids with new bolts and contact disc if solenoid is still good.

It did stick once before replacement. I figured it was the switch, so I replaced it. Do you think if I replaced the solenoid it would fix the problem?

Next place to look either clean the solenoid contacts or kit it or replace complete solenoid. Is the relay above it still there also?
