If it's like the fuel cutoff solenoids I've seen (on modern-ish VW's),
+12V will cause it to open.Test it. You should be able to hear it click open and closed, or take it out if you want to see the plunger move.
It may have been bypassed; if so does it need to be reconnected? Or is machine OK without it?
A soenoid on the carb is usually a fuel cut off device.
