Most times this caused by worn out starter contacts sticking. Replace them.
Beware if you let this go too long it will eventually burn up your expensive shutdown solenoid.

For grins, unhook your fuel shut-off solenoid and lift it to start then manually shut it off. If it bucks around a bit then idles, pull a washer out of each side of the GSK, and then try again.

I am not sure which GSK kit you used, but if you install wrong sized do-it-yourself washers they can create enough inertia to drive the rack follower ahead of the fuel shutoff lever and keep one running. Not something you see every day.

I'm not sure how the newer shutoffs work but it seems to me that if it is unhooked and still starts then it must be bad. I assume that to get fuel flow the solenoid must be energized and if fuel still flows without it energized it must be bad or jambed -- dirt or something.
