Not sure but think its a fuse or something

I'd say it's not the fuse.

Maybe it's the engine coolant getting into the starter (you know, water & electrics don't mix well). The next thing would be to find the coolant leak.

The hole in the block could be the source of the leak.



BTW, Nice conrods!

what make engine is that?

like the great Juha Kankkunen once siad to Ove Anderrson after retiring "it was electricial problems "after he drove a con rod through the altenator
