Don, If the tractor runs with no electrical power to the solenoid, I would suspect someone has "repaired" it by clipping off the needle that protruded from it to shut the main jet when the ignition switch was turned "off".
If that is the case, it is simply serving as a plug for the hole in the carb, and could be replaced by a plug that would thread into the carb. As someone else posted, there have been kits available for replacing the unit with an adjustment screw, not sure where you would find one nowadays, perhaps Robert's Carburetor might be worth a try.
(The original purpose was to prevent backfire at shutdown of an engine with a HOT muffler that could light off the gasoline going through the engine as it coasts to a stop.)
