I let it sit for about an hour and came back and it started right up and ran good. Sounds like a bad coil, right? And I guess the motor would have to come out to change it. Not really a problem, I’m sure it could use a good cleaning anyways.

Yes, heat soak related failure, which is fairly common with these. To replace, the engine needs to come out and the rear tins removed. Resist trying to save a buck with Chyna coils. OEM Kohler is the only way to go with these. The cheap ones don't put out the voltage due to less windings.
