A Briggs & Stratton engine that has a hard start when hot may be experiencing several issues. Common causes include vapor lock in the fuel system, where fuel vaporizes in the lines, or a faulty ignition system that struggles to ignite the fuel. Additionally, clogged air filters or a dirty carburetor can restrict airflow and affect performance. Checking these components and ensuring proper cooling and fuel delivery can help resolve the issue.
If its a new mower take it back to where you bought for warranty If you mess with it you will forfeit your warranty.

Engines run by burning gas fumes- fire is hot- exhaust is therefore hot. Hot gases running through metal pipes will make the metal hot. Hence the reason for "Hot, do not touch" stickers on many small engine exhausts.
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.
If there is no check engine light illuminated, start with the basics like a good tune up.
Most of the chokes on this type carb are basic spring loaded designs and are really meant to insure at pull start speed the system draws enough fuel to start.
have the heaters check, i had the same problem but fixed when changed heaters.
has it been running before you try to start. it is overheating or you have a bad starter.
Try replacing the engine coolant temp sensor.
A hard start when the engine is hot but a good start when cold can be attributed to several factors. One common issue is vapor lock, where fuel vaporizes in the fuel lines, making it difficult for the engine to start. Additionally, problems with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, can also cause difficulty when the engine is hot. Checking the fuel system and ignition components can help diagnose and resolve the issue.
Try replacing the carburettor diaphragm. It's an updraft carb so it's important to have good lift. Sometimes you can overcome this problem by keeping the fuel level high.
