Thanks for the input Ron. What I can't figure out is why the fuse is blowing as it's on the battery side of the ammeter and buffered by battery capacity and shouldn't see the runaway genny voltage.
However, you have got me thinking. Maybe the fuse blowing is a cause not an effect. If the fuse blew for some reason on engine start, the ignition circuit would see the high voltage and it would also explain why all the failures have occurred a half mile from setting off. Of course, it still leaves me with the problem of finding why the fuse is blowing.
What do you think?
