I have posted the problems that I have with my BADBOY 2009 Lightning not stating.
Here is a new thread that I am hoping will get me some new help.

It starts and runs until the engine warms up gets hot them dies and will not restart until it cools down or about a 30 mins to a hour. I have drained and replaced the fuel added fuel treatment and carb cleaner and had someone clean the carb. They cleaned it on the engine did not take it off, just a side note. yes really.

Any ideas or ways to trouble shoot.

Sounds like you have a coil with either has a hot short or hot open. Next time it happens check for spark at the plug. No spark bad coil.

As Rivets suggested or there is a fuel restriction somewhere. Will it start right back up and run good again for a period of time?

After it cools down i will start but only run for a second or two. I'll check for spark when I get back to the mower location.

Thanks
