I had this fault on my van once, bought a new starter and it was the same, turned out it was one of the wires connected to the starter was touching the engine, had to pull the cable from the battery to stop the starter, have a look at the wireing on your starter. |

The yellow wire is the earth for your cdi unit. You can just see where it has broken off (just infront of green terminal)
Not worth trying to repair as a new one only £20 ish!
Cheers.

the yellow wire was the earth from cdi unit, made a neat repair drilled a hole and soldered it to the connector thanks for the help
and the weird continuous starting fault was the starting relay welded stuck, sanded down the contact and starts fine now.
