Either replace the cable, or first lubricate it. Remove it and tip oil down it.

New cable.

If the engine has been disturbed (removed/serviced), then the ground cable between engine and body has been either neglected or not properly cleaned when reinstalled.

This makes the speedo cable the earth for the starter motor, and it cooked the nice polyethylene liner inside of the speedo cable.

So there you go.
