I wrapped the carb on my deere x530 in titanium insulating tape. I also did it too the fuel line and muffler. I then blew out all the dirt inside the engine housing. Mower works great again!
Great explanation. Thank you!! I have a similar issue with my John Deere X300. When it gets hot, it's hard to start. I have to crank it over for at least 4-5 seconds. Sometimes I'll get a popping sound, which to me means fuel starvation. The gas filter is almost always empty but they say that's normal for this model. I suspect vapor lock as the hot start problem. Probably caused by inadequate heat shielding on the carb bowl. Thoughts?
Thank you for showing some of the ways I can fix things on my mower!

I just open and close that gas cap.
