If you already have the solenoid off, I'd pull the governor housing on the side of the injection pump to see if the fuel rack is stuck. You already completed the first step of the process by removing the solenoid. I'd bet if it has been sitting for 5 years in the weather that the fuel rack is stuck. Mine stuck after sitting inside an enclosed garage for just a little over a year. I'd by shocked if the rack in that one wasn't stuck too. Just something to think about before you put a new solenoid on only to have to remove it again to check the fuel rack or the governor linkage later.
