Hi, I've an LT11 Snapper ride on mower that must be 20 years old but still does wonderful service and everything starts first time when COLD ....... however if I need to stop to clear a grass blockage, while the engine (and drive) restart first time, when HOT the blades will usually not restart until an hour later when things have cooled down. There are a couple of switches in the circuit (one of which I've replaced) but I'm wondering (and fearing) could this be the electric belt drive clutch?

Anyone know anything about this part, please? (eg is there a test I can try, are they repairable and anyone know a trustworthy company, is it universal part so that a used clutch off another mower likely to fit)

Thanks very much. Most grateful for all suggestions
