Mine did the same thing the other day. I tried smacking it with a hammer to get it unstuck but no luck so i just bought a new starter. Was going to pull old moe apart but haven't got around to it yet.

I would double check to make sure the trigger wire to the solenoid isnt touching the hot wire from the battery at the solenoid. That would trigger the starter immediately when the battery is connected so probably not it but its worth a shot
