Are you running a high compression motor? If so, you may be over-powering the starting. It could also be your timing. Try reatarding it 5 to 10 degrees as long as your total timing stays at about 35 degrees at 4,000 rpm. If not, you can buy a timing retard control from MSD that will only retard timing during start and then return to normal whem RPMs go above 800. Lastly, insulate it if it is close to headers or exhaust. There are plenty of insulation products available from Summit, etc.

first of all, i could verify the battery voltage, it would be at 12vdc. next verify to work out if there is oil. See in case you are able to now turn the engine via hand... you'll want a ratchet that has some leverage, and socket. it could have some resistance, yet once you are able to no longer budge it the two way the engine is seized... right here is what you do if so. Pull the spark plugs out (dont screw up the wiring order), squirt the two 2 stroke oil, or 5w30 down into the holes, enable it sit down attempt it and repeat. the two that or the starter is tangled up as a results of fact Autozone sucks. desire that helps slightly.

True the mini starters were designed to stay away from exhaust headers and therefore stay cool. But they like anything else are still prone to failure from overheating. Not much you do about it, without more information.

check the battery. if its good, have a close look at the heat shield near starter- it maybe bent or in need of replacement. exhaust manifold puts out alot of heat near starter on these motors

sounds like you have a bad starter or you have a very bad connection, you can go and barrow a load tester for the battery or take it out and go to a parts store and have them load test it then you will know that it is either the connections or cables and then you can take the starter out and take it to the parts store and have them check the starter they will do both tests for free.

What do you mean hot? was it hot or was it hot weather? Hot weather can drain a battery down but, if its your starter thats getting hot then you might wanna check out cyllanoid.

check you battery, how old are the cables? is your timing been bumped? mini starters are normaly hi-torque

i had the same trouble once,and i had to get a heat shield to put over my solenoid because it layes too close to the manifold and motor,you might try that,go to auto zone,i think they sell them.

It's the battery. hot weather is hard on batteries.
