The after-fire solenoid is in the bottom center of the carburetor fuel bowl. Often times the connector pins are a poor fit, especially on aftermarket carburetors.
Turn the key on without cranking the engine, a faint click is usually heard at the carburetor if the solenoid is working. If no click, wiggle the wire connection gently and see if it clicks on and off as you move the connector.
Sometimes the female pins can be gently tightened with a small pick tool to correct the problem.

Can you attach a picture. Your info says it is a zero turn. What brake are you referring too?

Sometimes it is simple but seems difficult. The KISS (Keep It Simple Silly) principle typically applies.
