There are two white wires that connect to the regulator. check continuity from each white wire to the engine block, should be infinity resistance. On Kohler the regulator is a half wave rectifier so in your case the center(battery) and the top pin are connected together which is normal. But if the stator under the flywheel is shorted to ground it will cause a short between the battery and the shorted to ground stator when the connector is plugged into the regulator which I suspect is what is blowing the fuse.
