I just worked on a 3 cylinder kubota that had a solenoid shut off. Except when power is applied to this one it shuts it off! Might be backwards, I have no idea. For your situation I'd just take some fencing wire or equivalent and fix it in position so it will stay on. Then when you get home pull the wire out and shut it off by hand. Just an idea. My solenoid doesn't appear to be something that should have power to it continuously. Maybe that is why your's burned??
