The carburetor solenoid is on the firewall side of the carburetor. It should click when the key is turned on. I sometimes have the same shutdown issue with my 1864, 18 horsepower Kohler. I turn off the key while simultaneously pushing the throttle wide open. Seems to shut down with out dieseling most times. Don't forget to return the throttle to idle after the engine stops.
