Mower has 86 hours on it.. Starts and runs great,but after an hour or so, will cut out, Sometimes it will start back up and run a couple of mins,sometimes have to let it set for abit.. seems to be heat related, but it just started doing that this season,, any ideeas ? Thanks..

This sounds like a breather problem if it stops again open the fuel cap to see if it has vacuum.
