My Starter motor keeps turning when I turn the ignition on

... you also refer to the B terminal and the S Terminal...

terminals of the switch. Check the link Joe sent to get an idea. Be aware that these show magneto switches and yours should be one of these. You'll have:
[Came back and read this. I mean that yours should have the following terminals: (it is not a magneto switch)]

B - battery (red)
S - start (green)
A - accessory (white)
I - ignition (yellow)

Here's the relavent chunk from the wiring diagram. (97 conquest)



Does this look about right?

... when wire is re connected to the starter and the ignition is turned to run Starter turns but there is no spark if I then turn the ignition to starter on the spring load portion of the switch the starter continues to turn and I get a spark at the plugs.

This is different than the first post. Now I think the starter and ignition are swapped.

Thanks for the help

I'm not sure what you mean by DVOM, or NAPA, you also refer to the B terminal and the S Terminal could you clarify which these are as Electrics are not my strongest subject.

Further to my recent question and some of everyones kind answers I have checked a few more things

I have done a voltage check on the wire to the starter solenoid in the off position there is no power swiched to run there is a feed at 11.8 volts (Which I would assume is incorrect)

when wire is re connected to the starter and the ignition is turned to run Starter turns but there is no spark if I then turn the ignition to starter on the spring load portion of the switch the starter continues to turn and I get a spark at the plugs.

From this I assume that there is a short somewhere as I have checked the switch, I more confused than ever

DVOM is Digital Volt/ Ohm Meter
NAPA is an auto parts store (Never Any Parts Avaliable)
B and S are terminal markings on the back of the switch. B for battery, and S for start. I have seen a few oddball switches where S is marked E for exciter (the name for the wire that goes from the switch to the small terminal on the starter solenoid to excite it, or turn it on.
