I have one customer with a Sears lawn tractor that was having problems with the fuel boiling in the float bowl of the carburetor (B&S engine 331877 0805-E1 070208ZE). Hat air from the bottom of the cylinder was being blown directly onto the carburetor. Mitigated the problem by fashioning a new carburetor mounting gasket with a long skirt to deflect the engine cooling air away from the float bowl. The old JD 68 riding mowers came with factory installed heat insulating material wrapped around the fuel line and filter.
On the subject of boiling, sounds like some parts of the southwestern US are getting some dangerously hot weather. Take care everyone and don't get heat stroke.
