A break in the ground wire would cause the engine to stop firing, not a blown fuse. He is definitely looking for the hot wire (or spark plug wire) shorting to the engine block or chassis.
Another thing to consider is the spark plug. You should not have any continuity between the spark plug clamp tip and the engine frame, there should be an air gap. |

A break in a ground will indeed cause fuses to blow. In fact, bad grounds are the #1 cause of fuse failure in all DC systems.
Stating that a bad a ground will not blow a fuse is incorrect.
