The fusible link may have burned up before or after the fuse you put in. If you have power at the fuse cut the rest of the link off between the fuse and the hard wires and hook the fuse wire direct to them.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

pretty sure i found the real problem. My starter. i finally took the time to learn how to use my multi meter and after going over evrything to make sure i was getting power i noticed that brown wire going down to my starter was wore through the insulater in one spot and i thought that was it but i was still getting power down at the starter. so i tried to jump that plug again and nothing. all it took was a light tap with a ratchet and it turned over. explains why it worked when it felt like it. lot of wasted time for something so easy but i did find some other things that needed to be fixed in the proccess so not all a waste. funny how its usually the simplest things.
