Best Answer

Using it too much or overloading it.

Improvement,

Using the engine too much will certainly not cause over heating. The most likely cause for the over heating is a clogged cooling shroud. Remove the top engine cover that surrounds the flywheel and remove the grass and debris. Mice love to make nests under those engine covers as well.
