In my experience...if it blows the fuse as soon as you turn the key, under the flywheel, there is a stator that recharges the battery when the engine is running, remove the flywheel, in most cases the magnets under it are broken and are in direct contact with the stator. If that is the case, both must be replaced

Check wiring and solenoid. There is an electrical fault. A fuse limits current thru wiring and device. Try inspecting wiring for chaffs or worn spots then replace solenoid. Replacing fuse is an exercise in futility.

Solenoid is probably shorted to ground...if you can obtain an ohmmeter..measure the resistance from the small trigger lead on the solenoid to ground(usually the mounting tab)..the reading should be around 50-200 ohms...if it is lower then the solenoid is junk
Sounds like there's a grounded wire somewhere between the ignition switch and the solenoid. When you bypass the switch with the screwdriver you don't ground out the line, but with the switch the ground shorts the circuit, blows the fuse, and then won't start the engine.
You have either a short in the solenoid trigger circuit, and a faulty solenoid. To check, disconnect the small trigger wire on the solenoid. Turn key to 'START'. If fuse blows, there is a fault in the wiring. If not, the solenoid is faulty.
Sounds like you are on the right path, maybe some wires on the ignition were replaced backward, and you are sending +12v directly to ground? Does it blow right away?
