OK, a question for the Gurus... can you remove the starter without having to remove the driveshaft directly in front of it?

I put a couple of cables on and a hot battery. Hit the switch and it spun over. Released the switch and it kept spinning. I unbatteryed it to stop the starter. Shook the Ign switch, kicked the starter, now I can put the lead on the battery. Tried again, it kept starting again. Disconnected the starter wire at the switch (unplugged) and the starter still runs. I'm thinking the bendix is gummer up from sitting, and is holding the solenoid contacts closed. Or, the contacts are arcing together. Either way, got to unship the stasrter. I'll have a look, and heal it if I can, or either go for an AutoZone 'forever' rebuild. I got to be able to unstart it before I check for ignition.(I got the term 'unstart' out of the SR-71 dash 4 manual which is on the net. I gather an 'unstart' in the Blackbird generates more pucker than it does in the GMC)

Thanks,

Johnny
