Antifreeze sounds like a possible catastrophic failure of some type, like a rod came loose and busted the block, was the cooling system full? I would be tempted to drop the pan and have a look see, also inspect the sides of the block carefully, unfortunately antifreeze in the oil is always bad...

Is the oil over full? you just need to let a little oil out of the pan to see if any water is in there. It is also possible the IP is seized, you may want to pull the top off the IP and see if there is any sign of water, but I suspect you would get a little movement at the front pulley. If the...

I think on that engine you can take a 1" open end and grab the "spokes" on the front pulley. always try to turn the engine in a clockwise direction looking at the front of the engine. Was the intake filter pipes intact? Crossed fingers that it is just a bad starter or something else...

You need to read the resistance, it should be around 2.5 ohms, would look like continuity on ether a meter or a test lamp. The solenoid certainly could be shorted though.

What trigger are you talking about? You can connect the batteries without the PCB connected and run a test wire from the solenoid where wire #74 was connected and try touching it to the hot terminal wear a face shield and gloves

Can you connect the cables with the PCB disconnected?

One thing to consider, if that wire #74 was pulling all those amps it should show signs of melting, disconnecting and verifying is a good plan.

The wire 74 (pin I) will show very low impedance (resistance) to ground. I just measured one at 2.5 ohms If there was a short between positive and pin I it would try to kick the starter in when you connected the battery and would certainly cause a flash.
