Sounds like a bad solenoid in the starter. It is sticking and can catch on
fire if starter does not shut down. Happened to me and had to cut cables to
shut down.

Hi CUCV Gurus,
I'm certain that I've seen this mentioned on this list before but I have
failed to find it in my archives. I have a two week old, brand new, not
rebuilt, brand new, military starter and two fairly new 6TL batteries
installed. One is around two months old and one is about four. When I got
in it after spending about thirty minutes in a friends house I tried to
start it, it seemed to be totally dead. No response at all other than the
normal lights coming on that you get each time you crank it up. I opened
the hood to see if one of the battery cables was loose. The key was turned
off and in my hand as I always do for safety. As I'm looking under the hood
and reaching for the battery cables the starter starts to whine and spins at
a very high rate of speed, smoke comes out and wires get cherry red. I'm
now trying to pull a battery cable off with no luck at all. Failing this I
went for the hose in case the fire spreads. All of a sudden the spinning
stops, the smoke clears and the wires cool down. What just happened other
than the wiring and starter now need to be replaced????
Does anyone know what causes this to happen and how I can prevent it in the
future? Any ideas on what I need to replace other than the wiring and
starter? What's my next move?
Thank you in advance for any and all help that anyone can give!
Best Regards,
Ed
