Kohler Pro 23hp liquid cooled V-twin dying after 3 seconds...

Problem is a lot more common than many would think.
As part of the diagnostic kit I keep a set of bowls with no solenoids.
The wires are not supported particulalrly well and I have found quite a few with frayed strands.
If any 2 touched for a very short time you have a direct short enough to blow the fuse .

So, here's the latest. I unplugged and cleaned every electrical connection I could see. Now the engine starts up without blowing the fuse, but it continues to die after 3 seconds. I'm guessing I had two separate issues.

Any suggestions for the dying engine? Again, I had replaced hoses and the fuel pump.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. The fuse blew again.
