My 3 year old Honda lawnmower (HRX 217VKA) starts great when cold, but not at all when hot. Must cool down ten minutes for restarts. I cleaned the carb, replaced the shocks and air filter. Nothing.
Finally took it to dealer, who charged me $125 to "adjust the governor" and apply "thermo-wax". Sounds expensive and totally random to me.
Grass is too wet to test it out, but should I assume I was ripped off, and need to find myself a new service place?
Thanks to any mow-fos out there who can advise.

Mower Won't Start Hot (plus dodgy service story)
