Just got finished bypassing it. Had to grind down a wrench to slip in there and unscrew it. Just pulled the little stopper so it won't shut the fuel off. And put the solenoid back in.

nope. he said that the idea was originally only for recoil engines so that they could be ran without a battery, and they had a few problems with the solenoid so they started cutting the shaft off the plunger on all of them.

I have an 08 27hp and the solenoid is still connected. It was thinking he was disconnecting them on another manufacturers engine.
