OK. Last night I looked everything over and didn't see anything obvious but I will pull it apart on the weekend to check all the nooks and crannies.
I did start it up last night. Got 10 feet and the fuse blew. I switched it off, unplugged everything and would plug one thing in at a time and power up to see if one of them would blow the fuse. Well, I either moved the wires enough they are away from the short or the harness itself had some corrosion that got cleaned up when I was unplugging and plugging. I mowed for a couple hours with it.
The inconsistency is what makes me think it is a wire and not the stator. Could be the reverse safety relay and I haven't found how to bypass that yet. I also thought it could have been bad connections creating a load to blow the fuse.
Les, there is one area where the wire goes close to a self tapping screw that is very sharp, but the insulation and conduit is good there but it made me think I should tie it up so it deosn't rub and become an issue.
