Okay, this is an interesting one. When you say, "back it up, " do you actually put it on neutral and push it backwards? Also, when it doesn't start, does the starter work? If not, have you tried starting it in neutral?

Let me know.

I'm sorry, but nowhere in your original posting does it say you place it in reverse. When you say "backed up, " I didn't understand what you ment. My question is this. Have you tried starting it in neutral? If not, try that. To me it sounds like a bad neutral safety switch.

Let me know what you find. And please, bear with me. I need to know somethings before I can diagnose the problem.
