Or you can replace the entire engine holder but it's pretty expensive.
Thanks for the reply Mallard!

You are right, I read your post and now we can see that there is a hole in the engine holder.

When this happened to your motor did anything else get fried or did just patching the hole and fixing the wires get the motor running again?
