How to get Ryobi ride mower to start?

try another battery as this one will have fully discharged and
will not hold its charge. Also try bypasssing the starter switch
with a screwdriver between the input and switching
terminals on the solenoid, but make sure the transmission and
blades are in neutral first
the clicking sound is the solenoid engaging showing a small
current reaching it
any mechanic should do this in 2 or 3 minutes.
