stupid question;
was the main lead bolted to an earth or touching some thing around the terminal ? leads would only go on fire if there was a short....yet to see a new starter motor that's fked out of the box ??
I would look carefully that you put wiring on without the main lead touching anything except the terminal it attaches to.
I have seen somebody manage to put both leads with ring terminals onto the one terminal----that also burst into flames and also burnt out the starter as well....
