No it doesn't. It shuts off the fuel flow up through the main jet to
keep fuel from continuing to enter the engine when you turn the key off
and it is slowing down. Briggs had big problem with fuel entering the
muffler and causing backfires big enough deform and eventually split the
mufflers. This solenoid was their way of trying to fix the problem.
