Well you should take it off every year or two and clean the debris from the cooling finsI never have pulled the metal engine shroud.
So go stand in the naughty boy corner
I looked at the shroud. Looks very complicated to remove. I actually had a mouse make a nest under the shroud. I tried to pull out as much as I could. For awhile everytime I got done mowing smoke was pouring out like there was a fire. I think I got it all out now.Well you should take it off every year or two and clean the debris from the cooling fins

Replaced the voltage regulator yesterday finally and am gettingf 14 volts at the battery while running so I think that is fixed. However, when I attach the charger to the battery it still won't charge. Charger jumps back and forth between red and green constantly like there is a short somewhere. I tried to charge it with the voltage regulator removed and it did the same thing. Not sure what is going on.
You might get a lawn service then. Should only be maybe 4 bolts max to remove it. Might have a plastic cover with a couple screws on top of it.I looked at the shroud. Looks very complicated to remove.
You need to remove the engine shroud YEARLY. As in if you don't, you are looking at ENGINE DAMAGE. Or in your case a possible mouse fire that burns your mower to the ground. Yearly meaning every year of mowing.

1/2 doing a job just leads to more problemsI looked at the shroud. Looks very complicated to remove. I actually had a mouse make a nest under the shroud. I tried to pull out as much as I could.

The blower housing will be held on by 4 or 6 small bolts
Depending upon the exact specification of the engine you may have to remove a finger guard &/or the rotating debris guard
Again usually 4 screws / bolts in each .
Pounds to peanuts the mouse has chewed through the insulation on a power wire that is shorting out against the engine
You really need to take the blower housing off and clean the mouse mess out of the engine. You can not just pull out most of it and cure the problem. If you don't clean it out in can cause the valve seat to come out of the head pop the head off the exhaust valve burn the exhaust valve and blow a head gasket. Your mower you call.
