Starter relay, but if you burnt up 4 pair of jumper on it this time you better put a starter in it. Might as well put a good battery in it too.

You replaced the starter, but have you replaced the stater relay? If it's trying to start as soon as you put jumpers on it, it sounds like the relay is hung up or the small + feed wire to the relay is energized.
