mite be miswired, check to make sure the starter signal wire is on the S terminal of the solenoid and not the I, the I terminal was for the old points ignition systems and provided 12 volts to the ignition system during cranking only, but i know if you hook up the starter signal wire to that terminal it will continue to crank after you release the key
