Air filter is brand new and little to no dust on it at all.
the thing with the start test George is that if cool, it will start in one pull. It has no choke, throttle, or primer bulb. It's all automatic. So for me to test I pulled the wire and it was dry after 5-6 pulls. I'll go get a new plug, but I would think that if it were a plug issue it wouldn't start so easily at the beginning?
Growing older but not UP
My car now has a heater, and now has HEAT!!

* In general, sometimes electronics & in a rarer case electrical components (as in case of your lawn mower) can work fine cold but start to fail when hot. Not saying is your case in regards to your plug.
Forget air filter in this case. We're talking plug or carb.
Now one sure way to narrow down is the can of starting fluid. When mower warm, won't restart. Plug plug right then, spray starting fluid into cylinder. Put plug back and try to start. If it tries, it's NOT the plug but carb issue, not getting fuel. if not trying to start, then would be a border line plug.
If carb, perhaps the float sticking when hot. carb can be rebuilt or replaced. But you should get some starting fluid to narrow down problem.
I think that I'll just bring it back and have them look at it under warranty.
