Hi Paul,
I had just that a few months ago.
You need a new solenoid.
Yes the solenoid can be separated from the starter.
Beware to have the ignition clips kept up with an elastic band or something
like that.
I once mounted the starter and one clip ended to be between the starter and
the engine block....
Cheers,
Hans
