This will happen a lots of times with a weak battery. The solenoid contacts also can get a little rough and they will stick together like this. Does it stop when you remove the cable off the battery and work o.k. the next time?

Had the problem you describe with an 84 Chev6.2 diesel P.U. and the answer was to mount a Ford type solenoid on the fender, then take the main bettery cable off the G.M. solenoid and connect it to one side of the Ford type solenoid and the other side to a new cable running from the Ford type solenoid to the regular post on the G.M. solenoid. While you are under the truck, cut the purple wire to the G.M. solenoid and make a short jumper wire from the start post here to the big battery post on this solenoid that will energize the starter solenoid when current is applied to the battery post of this solenoid. Then take the other end of the purple start wire from the key switch and connect it to the Ford solenoid you have added and this system will break the connection from the battery juice in a fail safe way. Also the sticking can sometimes be caused by the starter needing shims added to it, but this will usually start after replacing the starter.
