Mower doesn't want to start back up without a fight. I took blower housing off and looked for linkage or vane issues and didn't see any.
Where should I check next? Machine is a 2018 and only 55 hours. Ran great when parked last fall. TIA.

So it will not restart when hot, correct?

I put a jumper wire on the thermal choke mechanism and it gets warm and opens up a 1/4 or a 3rd. That's about it. When started it opens completely.

I myself have never worked on a kohler with smartchoke.
Troubleshooting starts at 3:30

I watched that video yesterday. All the scenarios mention the choke staying open. Mine is closed but opens like it should?

Well, now i don't know if you have an engine/choke problem but a battery/starting system problem.

I fixed it. Was bad gas. I drained tank and carb and refilled with fresh gas and starts right up now.
