Hi,

If that fuse blows right away, it could be related to the ignition relay or a short between it and the coil, or the coil itself.

First, disconnect the connection at the ignition coil/igniter assembly. See pic 1 See if the fuse still blows.

If it does, remove the ignition relay and see if the fuse blows. See pic 2

Let me know what happens.
