Since you are having troubles when hot, it would be wise to do a couple
things. First, only use use high quality motor oil in your engine. Name
brand stuff, not the department store brand.

Second, pull the motor cover off, and clean the flywheel and the fins around
the spark plug. Air flow across the head (around the spark plug) is
essential to cooling the engine.

Run the 18 HP Cub Cadet 90 minutes, take a break for an hour, then the
Cub won't start, regardless of whether I use full choke, partial
choke, or no choke. Battery is OK. Next day, tractor starts fine, no
problems.

Is the engine still overheated after a one-hour rest? Any tips.

Thanx,
Jack
