Sounds like the wires to your starter/battery are corroded. Corroded wires require more amperage and that usually results in melting wires:p

Sounds like one or more cylinders are hydro-locking from possibly coolant entering cylinder. I would pull the spark plugs and look at them very closely. If your using coolant in a particular cylinder that plug will be very clean. The electrical smell is the starter burning up. You should NOT hold the starter on if your engine is trying to compress water.
