JD E130 not restarting

[Snuffy77]

My JD E130 starts fine at first. However, if I need to stop in the middle of mowing, it will not restart. If I wait about an hour, it starts back up. Is it running hot? Does it have a vapor lock? Thanks.

Does it help to open the fuel filler cap, in case you are not getting venting?

I ran out of gas yesterday so, in that case, it may be an air lock. But, I just turned it off to answer the phone last week, and it wouldn’t start for about a half hour. Then it started fine.

I will try that. Thanks.
