Your welcome I think we are all hoping its just the starter solenoid, as its the easiest repair for you,ie; new starter etc, I look forward to reading your findings once you have tested the starter etc.

The "what if's" and "could it be's" only seem fair in this...I think testing the starter/solenoid is priority and will go from there.

I am wondering if there was an alternator issue/short the whole line would be fried or damaged? I know these are old and get brittle and what I can see appears to have oxidized...The whole thing looks pretty good, just not the few inches burnt/melted near the starter motor...



Thanks ant7 - much appreciated.
