Just thinking out loud...
Could batteries be suffering low internal resistance? IE voltage good at rest but drop volts when starter is in the circuit?
Can you get an ammeter/clamp meter on the battery lead while trying to start?
Could starter be shorted internally so the circuit is being made across only half the windings? Can you find another starter to swap in and test?
Has the alternator (?) lost it's field/sense circuitry?
I would be keen to know -why- the wiring melted in the first place... is there a short in the alt? Try taking that out of circuit and starting.
