Every time I shut off my mower, 1/3 idle and letting it idle down for a minute, it still backfires after shutting off the engine. It never used to do this before so I'm thinking the fuel solenoid died somehow. Is there anyway to check, specifically for a briggs engine? (obviously) Thanks!
John Deere D105 afterfire, fuel solenoid broken?

You should hear a faint "CLICK" from the solenoid when you turn the key on & off...or you can use a 12 volt test light or meter to check the connector for voltage .
( I would venture to say it's a 17.5 HP model or in that range... you are NOT alone )
I replaced a 17 hp briggs engine on a customers Toro that always backfired on shutoff. Engine dropped a valve which prompted the replacement. Installed a new 17.5 hp engine and hooked everything up started the engine, a run it for a few minutes. Then shut off the engine and about 2 seconds later. BANG. the only thing common between the two engines, was I had reused the exhaust system off of the old engine.

I have to admit I read this post before and my curiosity is peaking... I wonder if the "other" muffler configurations for this H.P. series Briggs ... encounters the same "WAKE - UP" tune ?? ...
..:confused3:I don't know Boobala, but worked on a new rider under warranty years ago with a briggs V-twin that would afterfire, and after going through the whole system part by part, the problem was eliminated when the muffler was replaced.

Some mufflers will remain red hot for longer than others.
Muffler not red hot, no ignition source.
