Engine swap, splicing into existing connector?

Also,
I believe this is the fuel shutoff solenoid, but have never seen in a side to side orientation...usually at the bottom of the float bowl vertically. I am going to cut off the plunger, but it looks different than the others I have seen?

That is the main jet anti back-fire solenoid all right.

Yellow wire is battery voltage.
Engine stopping is a ground.
2 red wires are both DC voltage.

Why two red wires? Why not one? Are the two wires there to provide more current? Could I just hook up one of them?

Thanks for the sanity check...I am going to cut it off...backfires are fun!
