Big white spark

Hi all thanks for the carb advice I bought a new dierfram kit off eBay and fired loads of carb cleaner though and all seems fine ,how ever befor I moved
I paid a home visit mechanic to get her running as I had been stumped at getting her to run (£60) I think he had my eyes out as he didn't check the dia thing in the carb when it was running lumpy ,but he got it t run and that's what I wanted
So moving on,i have moved from Drax to pocklington now and have started tinkering tonight ,the thermostat has opened now but it is running hot ( I think that's because I can't drive it any were as she is not road worthy) but as I was reving . her up in the fading light I could see A big white lightening spark jumping across the exhaust outlet over the starter solinoid and starter motor as the revs dropped down ,so peeps anyone got any ideas what's going on
 
Check the engine earth strap, it may be loose or broken. Is your choke cable getting hot?

Might have been the strap touching the alternator?...........just a thought ........
