jergeod,
I'm not 100% positive, but I believe the solenoid shuts off fuel to the carb when the engine is off (key off)... Appears to be a safety device to prevent fuel from draining into a hot engine and catching fire after the engine is turned off.

Jergeod,
FYI... I searched the Solenoid through JDPARTS.com and is used on several different pieces of equipment including lawnmowers.
If it performs the function as stated in the earlier post of a fuel shutoff valve it correlates with the symptoms you're experiencing as they sound like a lean condition (when throttle is demanded additional fuel is needed or it will bog or even backfire). If the solenoid is removed it basically functions like a carb or years past would without the feature and thus should not cause any operational problems.
You'll have to decide if the safety aspect of the Solenoid in preventing fuel from flooding the engine or possibly migrating to a hot exhaust during key off conditions is worth fixing.
Was voltage available to the solenoid with the key on? This could have been the problem
To test the solenoid a 9v battery (or 12v source) can be used to energize the solenoid. Be aware the plunger typically needs to be slightly depressed to actuate. Note: in its unpowered state the plunger is fully extended and when it is in the carb it is slightly depressed. Slightly depressing the plunger with power to the solenoid should cause it to retract fully.

Last night I searched at JDparts and all they say is solenoid with no mention of what it is for. To answer your thoughts on this I have no flooding symptoms / problems when key is shut off left to sit 5 min and restarted, as far as roll over I don't use it in any fashion that that would ever happen. Going to stop at JD dealer and see if they know for sure what it does. All I know is it starts better idles better and runs fantastic, this thing has never run this good from day one

An extra step is needed in jdparts.com
Select the where used button and it will show other applications. Searching these other applications it is possible to find more info about it.
