I got it to start this morning by jumping it right at the starter, and was trying to mow my lawn. the tire was low and i went to air it up. while i was putting the chuck on the air hose, it died and wouldn`t start back. it is a murray widebody lt identical to fearlessfront`s murray.

That's pretty vague... Did you check anything after it wouldn't start? If so, was it getting spark? Or fuel?

Yep, if you're getting fuel to the plug the next step is spark. Could be a safety switch or the ignition has gone bad, etc. If you don't have spark, remove the kill wire from the coil & try again. That way you will know where to start looking.
