WELCOME TO LMF!
I would suggest looking at other threads first because this has happened to a lot of people.
Here are some threads that might help:

Check you spark when you are trying to hot start. I'll bet that you have a coil that is hot shorting and will not produce a spark. In that case replacing the coil should solve your problem.

Have similar to the same problem. Have a '97 C- Riding mower that I gave to my daughter..new battery in Jan. and I only used once...ran fine. She mowed with it a whole day, the next day it wouldn't run. I jumped it off. she rode it the rest of the day until she attempted to go up a small incline and it died..won't even jump off now..no click even. battery had spark now it has none. This was not my lawnmower until someone gave it to me last November, so I have no idea what it's running history is other than " it runs great" I replaced the battery in Jan. because it wouldn't charge after the winter, though it had a "new" battery when I got it....I need some advice on where to start...getting someone to look at it isn't an option....just us.

I have purchased new batteries before only to find out later they where re-called defective this could be your problem, or the VR diode got fried when you jumped started the mower.
