Hi Tim, Shortly after sending that last message
I hooked up a spare rebuilt starter that I kept on hand for my pickup truck. I ran a battery cable from the pos terminal of the battery to
the solenoid. I used a piece of No10 electrical
wire for the ground from the battery and to the starter. The starter pinion should not engage
with this hookup. I used a gator clip on the S terminal and just touched the terminal where the
pos cable is on the solenoid and the pinion quickly moved fully forward and I removed the wire
from the pos connection on the solenoid and the pinion retracted quickly.

When you're cranking the engine by shorting across the solenoid, does the engine keep
cranking when you stop shorting the solenoid?

If it keeps cranking after you stop the shorting, voltage is somehow getting to the
solenoid. Hook a volt meter to the S terminal and see if voltage is present afer you stop cranking. If voltage is present the solenoid is defective. Hope this helps. Good Luck, Hal
