Too much excitement and exercise for a Saturday!!

Unless you have an auxiliary pushbutton switch installed in parallel with the carb switch, sure sounds like the solenoid. Pitted and welded contacts, or overheated at some time causing the insulation in plunger core to expand & make plunger stick are two likely causes. Guess it's possible the starter bendix actuating assy or return spring could be at fault but not too common that I've heard. Be interesting to hear what you find.
