G. L., once you get the starter motor apart, I would suggest having some serious bench testing by an auto electric shop you trust.

ALL the wiring needs to be inspected and tested to make sure the integrity of the insulation and windings is good. Burned and or melted copper confirms long-term high amerage which can certainly cause unseen defects.
