Default 2000 Prairie 300 blowing 5amp fuses

I keep blowing fuses, and ive covered all exposed wires I’ve seen. Yet when replacing the ignition, there was 2 other lines chewed through. Not w/n the harness. I covered them in tape, but I need to know where they go, as I couldn’t see. As I’m wondering if this is still why I’m blowing the fuse. Would greatly appreciate input and even a photo if you have a Prairie. Thank you

Should be the accessory fuse, if I remember right. From what I've read about these before, they blew without having much on them. Have you checked the plug and it's wiring?

The spark plug? I’ve checked the spark plug cable, but I haven’t checked the actual plug. As it’s firing up great. I’ve had the thing running for about 10min before killing it. Then the fuse was blown. This may sound stupid as I’m obviously no mechanic, but are you saying a dirty spark plug could blow the fuse even. I’ll try changing, this evening. I probably have a plug that will fit it.
