Circuit Breaker

I have a Moffett M4500 with a Circuit Breaker that keeps tripping. I replaced it with an OEM Part, I replaced the starter with a rebuilt unit. It was starting good for a few weeks. Now it starts sometimes and trips the Circuit Breaker other times. I have tried putting a battery charger on it to make sure it isn't a low voltage issue. I am looking for any ideas. I am starting to consider the idea of bypassing the Circuit Breaker to see what happens. I guess the main danger would be to damage the rebuilt starter.
What ideas do you guys have?
