I have a John Deer riding mower. It ran for 10 min then shutoff. Now it will crank but not turn over. I drained gas and changed fuel filter. It cranks but will not turn over. What else should I check?

SOURCE: 1998 chevy s10 won't start, engine cranks but it won't turn over.

replaced your fuel pump and when you buy it make sure to replace the oil sending sensor on the fuel pump it comes with a replacement when you purchase a new fuel pump

Possibly you have a porous sump in the fuel tank.

I had a similar problem on my 42" MTD riding mower, the vent in the gas cap was plugged up. Replaced the gas tank cap and it fixed it (Lowes sells them)

From the rear of machine look at the top left of fuel tank for the fuel line.Where line comes out of tank see if it is pinched where it goes down between frame and tank,grab line and see if it moves freely.If that is OK loosen fuel cap after 10 minutes of run time to see if your vent hole in cap is working.These are 2 common problems for the L series mowers.

Has it been outside? May be water in the fuel.
