I really do not want to confuse you with any more info than what is posted here already. Most of the info here is wrong or mis-leading. You need to sort out the wiring, starter circuit is extremely simple. I do not have the same car so I cannot tell you the exact configuration but it is similar in ALL old cars.

There is NO residual charge in a starter. Anyone tell you that is BS. There is no CAPACITOR in a starter. Even if there is, it is so small that it would have discharged very quickly thru the winding. Recheck your wiring. what have been posted does not make sense. No need to remove it, just check the wiring for now.
