ff and I have to wait about 2 minutes to start it back up. Once re-started, it does the same thing. A neighbor told me to change the spark plug, which I did and it didn’t do any good.

Tim,

The problem is not with the plug. But with the ignition coil. It gets heated up and quits. Starts again when cooled and this cycle continues. Please replace the ignition coil. It is the coil from where the thick lead goes onto the spark plug.

My toro 6.5 hp push mower (2010), has no fire to the plug. I have not abused it. i have a small yard and it just gets normal use. Now it won’t fire.
