IF you are jumping the right set of terminals, then: The solenoid is failing to 'push' the starter (pinion) into place and engaging the flywheel. The solenoid needs to be replaced, although the pinion and plunger is most likely worn: and replacing the whole starter assembly is normally not that much more expensive. Please note however that you could be jumping the power to the starter only thereby bypassing the solenoid. Solenoid:
---- P ------
R -------- S
----- X -----
P = Power or Battery cable
X = Starter motor
R = Run position (Starter bypass coil power)
S = (Purple wire) Start from Key Be sure you are jumping power to the START wire, not the X starter terminal.
Starter solenoid is bad. I assume you mean engine turning over, not starting, but continuing to turn over after key is released. Disconnect battery cable from post, then replace starter solenoid.

You should locate and test the solenoid. Most have three connections. There is a large cable from the battery to the solenoid, from the solenoid to the starter and from the start switch to the solenoid. The power terminals to the battery and the starter are large and have large cables. The starter switch connection is much smaller. Turning the key to 'start' provides a low current voltage to the solenoid causing the solenoid relay to close and power from the battery cable to connect through to the starter. If that voltage is present then the solenoid or the wiring between the solenoid and battery or solenoid and starter is suspect. If that voltage is missing then the starter switch or solenoid feed line may have failed.
