Never heard of this switch but it is good info you posted. Thanks much.
The pilot jet is unlikely to be your problem. You have a leaky needle
and seat - guaranteed.
I agreed with you. Regardless of the solenoid, a carburetor wouldn't
flood if the float valve worked right. (I've never trusted float valves
on parked engines with gravity feed.)

Carlsbad Small Engine says we're wrong. Somehow, a properly working
float valve will flood an engine if the shutoff solenoid doesn't seal.
The mechanic didn't say this is true of all riding mowers with fuel
shutoff solenoids.
