My Husqvarna rider was running fine for about 45 minutes, then stalled. When I try to start it, it clicks like it is trying but seems like it isn't turning over. Any ideas? Thank you.

usually the first thing that comes to mind is a weak battery but it could also be that you have a bad solenoid.

With the clicking sounds like you need a new cylinoid.. The 2nd thing I would check is to make sure your battery is new. Also check the battery clamps and check the terminals for any residue and clean with a wire brush.
The problem is likely fuel related. Husqvarna says this may be due to a clogged fuel filter, restriction in the pick up or an improperly vented fuel cap. A clogged fuel filter restricts the flow of fuel to the carburetor. Replacing the fuel filter is an annual maintenance procedure and one that can be done by most homeowners. Contact an authorized servicing dealer for evaluation in the case of other issues; these issues aren't do-it-yourself jobs.
As fuel is consumed by the engine, the level in the fuel tank lowers. To make up for this, the fuel cap uses a small vent to allow air to enter the tank. If the fuel cap vent is clogged, air won't be able to enter the tank and a vacuum or "vapor lock" will occur. This stops the flow of fuel to the carburetor causing the engine to stall.
The carburetor might be clogged. Over time, some of the ingredients in the fuel may evaporate, leaving behind a thicker, stickier substance. This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and cause the engine to stall.
Inspect the spark plug for signs of wear or damage. If the porcelain insulator is cracked, an electrode is burned away or damaged, or there is heavy carbon buildup at the electrode, replace the spark plug.
