Could a bad CDI box cause the regulator catch on fire?

I worked on it today, and kept blowing fuses... if I bypass the fuse the regulator catches on fire! Tried it a few times already just to make sure (luckily got it off when I smelt smoke!). With the regulator plugged in, the wires get hot, and without it they don't. I don't really know what to do from there guess I better get my meter out again!

This is the 3rd one (I have replaced it twice already!)... for some reason it keeps burning up, or blowing fuses since I put a fuse in it! So far the only way those wires in that the fuse is on don't get hot is if the regulator isn't hooked up? I need that to make it work! I will try to unhook everything one by one with the regulator hooked up (with a fuse in). Process of elimination! Do you know where I should start? Thanks

I took the wiring harness apart checked every wire... could the wires to the coil burn up the regulator if they were backwards? I took off the electric choke components and the resistor because the only thing connected to it was the electric choke. I have a manual carburetor. It was burning the regulator up before I did that though!
