Could the bad gas, have cause the solenoid to act up?
Thank you so much guys! My dad got this tractor new in '92. You all have already helped me get it running better. It's fun, especially since I spent many hours on this thing as a teenager, whether mowing, or pushing snow, when we lived in West Michigan.

If the gas has ethanol in it sometimes it will gum up the carbs. If it was me I'd get some SeaFoam ( you can get it at Wally World or most auto parts stores) and run some of that for this tank of gas to clean out the fuel system. If that solenoid gives you anymore trouble you can unscrew it out of the carb and cut the tip off with a pair of side cutters then screw it back in. Don't lose the seal.
Think you got all the good out of that PTO bearing.
