Repairs Snapper SX825- Solenoid Issues

That tells me that the float needle is not seating, allowing fuel to flow throughout the carb into the crankcase. Time to clean and rebuild the carb, replacing the float needle and seat.
 
Like Rivets said your carb is flooding. You probably know this but make sure you change your oil.

Would any kind of carb cleaner possibly fix this?
 
In my opinion, I would either clean the carb in a dip tank style carb cleaner or ultrasonic cleaner. The fix though is to properly replace the float needle and seat after cleaning.

I replaced the needle valve under the float and the mower starts right up. I would say it could probably run at full ideal if it wasn't idling up and down continuously. What should I look for now? I seem to be making progress.

Did you replace the seat? Did you give it a bath or just spray with carb cleaner? Did you reset the float level after replacing the seat? What are your engine numbers? What was the needle part number?
