Could be many reasons such as a dead battery, loose or dirty connections, broken wires, bad starter switch, bad starter, bad solenoid, bad relay, bad or out of adjustment safety switches.

What does a lawnmower solenoid do?

You don't NEED it exactly its just a fancy box that connect your battery wires to the starter. If your lawnmower is clicking/wont start or silent when you turn the key its possible its the solenoid. undo the rubber covers from the solenoid touch the two bolts together using something metal and start it up, bam. you just by-passed the solenoid. (the solenoid will be next to the starter in most cases and have two rubber wire covers on them)

Why wont challenge extreme petrol lawnmower start?

Because it is a load of cheap Chinese garbage. Buy a Honda! You will buy five of these pieces of crap in 10 years and only one Honda. It will not start for one of 2 reasons. Lack of fuel or lack of spark. You need to determine which one you are missing and proceed from there.
