    Starts but quits after riding for about a minute

    Check to see that the gas cap/tank is venting. Will it start and keep running with the gas cap loose?

    Engine won't start

    Is the gas cap venting? Try with the gas cap removed.

    mojack

    Even at $100 the mojack is a bit pricey unless you have a larger mower or a service shop. For my 30" and 34" rear engine riders, I find a bumper jack that came with an '84 Dodge van works just fine. You can likely still find these in junk yards.

    Any John Deere 68 owners out there?

    I own a John Deere Model 68 rear engine riding mower. I think it's at least 30 years old and parts aren't available anymore, unless they're also on later models or later parts can be substituted. This has 2 blades with a total 34" cut, ideal for a 1/2 acre lot. Mowers this size are rare these...
