That's a fuel shut off solenoid. Make sure it "clicks" when you turn on the ignition. I'd also check for a clogged fuel filter.
Drain the fuel out of the carburetor float bowl, it might have lots of water in it. Tighten the float screw down when done, or else you could get gasoline coming out everywhere, even the breather tube. You might also need to get gas someplace else, or need the carburetor re-adjusted.

Just a guess but if the fuel bowl is full, you may have a busted diaphram. I didn't catch the original post.
