Appreciate the response, re: vapor lock. However, I wasn't as clear as I needed to be when asking for feedback. The mower won't re-start when hot after turning it off. I forgot to add the fact that it won't even try to turn over. Starter not 'engaged'. After cooling down, starts just fine. NOW, any thoughts? Thanks!

When you say " Starter not 'engaged" - getting a click? dead - nothing? If you are getting NOTHING, could be a switch that is getting hot for some reason, or there is a binding in the starter. Describe the hot starting problem, Have you checked all wires bright and tight? report back
Check the tightness of the cables on the battery. When warm, they can expand and loosen enough to prevent suitable current flow. I had the misfortune once as the lead vehicle on a car ferry, when it would not not start preventing other vehicles from unloading. The battery cables were loose enough to do that. Several tmes since that I have found that on other equipment.
