there are several possible causes. first, check the oil level. if it is low then the engine can't cool properly. second, ensure that the flywheel fins aren't broken or plugged up with grass. third, if 1 and 2 are ok run it till it dies and check for spark with a spark tester. if there is no spark the coil is bad

Why a lawn mower doesnt start second time after engine hot?
There may be a number of issues with the lawn mower. The motor may need oil or gas. The intake filter may be too dirty, clean it up then put it back in when it is dry. The blades might not be able to spin around, maybe something is obstructing them, causing the machine to not turn over the engine / motor.
12.5 hp Briggs and stratton lawn mower and when it gets hot it cuts off why is that?
Three things come to mind: 1) The cooling fins that keep the engine cool are blocked by debris and letting the mower run hot. 2) The coil is getting hot and breaking down causing it to not get spark to the engine. 3) There might be an exhaus leak near the carb causing the gas to vapor lock.
