It was a stuck ignition switch. I dunno how it got stuck but when I got to the shop, they were finished oiling it after they cleaned the thing. It was the cause of the first burn too grrrr!
yebo - well, ayun nakabili na ako. The good news is that the price is now down to 8k. Both starters are really burnt badly on the inside but heck I'll try to have it rewind.
