Battery is fully charged nothing when ignition it turned on no dash lights no buzzing
Can jump start it by shorting starter and it will run but have to hold the shut of valve open

Fuses and fusible links? Multimeter or even a test light to see where power stops being there?

I rececntly went through similar situation with my 763. After unsuccessfully trying several things I replaced the battery cables and it started right up.

Im not very experienced with electrical systems
Is there a main fuse ?

There is a 100 amp mega fuse. It is located above the battery.
