good thread.. finally a good starter thread.

The broken tooth happened for a reason.. maybe flywheel fun's a coming. How about you carefully inspect all flywheel teeth ?

So IF I assume there was a binding of the motor, at full battery current flow, there's a lot of heat happening somewhere. And if I assume the binding didn't allow full plunger throw.. which may have created a voltage drop of the plunger disc and battery/motor connections.
so I figure the sol disc is toasted and the heat melted the small wire insulation.. which means the small dia wires only need new insulation.. I'd still confirm this with a voltage drop test later when repair is completed.

Really thou.. if the motor field connector melted then there was full plunger, I think.. The motor field coils would have caused the high heat... and the big, pia it install, positive battery cable core could have been damaged..

I think voltage drop tests latter will be called for imo...

where's education.. I mean Warren ?
