Mowed for 1 hour and it was 87 out just got done and the hot light came on where do I start. The radiator is clean with fresh coolant and the screen is clean.
Also thermostat and water pump. Thermostat could be stuck shut and water pump impeller could be spinning on the shaft. And the wire for the sensor could have rubbed through making the light turn on if it hits ground (bare metal).
