Has anyone ever had this happen? I was running the gas out of my 90hp 3 cylinder Mercury outboard, I held the key pushed in so that the choke, enricher would stay on, but when I backed off the key the starter kept running even though the motor was not running???? Never had this happen before. Now Im leary on trying to turn the motor over??

Either the solenoid stuck or there is a short that is energising it
