I have an L110 John Deere which starts fine and runs good. However, when it gets hot and I stop the engine (get off to move hose, tools, etc.) it won't restart and I have to wait until it cools down to get it to restart. We live outside of Denver (not in mountains) on the high plains. I wonder if it's vapor lock or something else, and what can I do to repair it?

You are not applying the choke in those restarts I assume.
