Dave, over the years I have seldom seen a fuel shutdown solenoid fail or short, but since the beginning of the year I have had three through my little shop, a Bobcat with a Kubota engine, fuel solenoid failed with "open" windings, and wouldn't start, a Deere commercial mower with a Yanmar engine, fuel solenoid would intermittently short and blow a fuse, and a 1995 Chevy 6.5 diesel that had an intermittent shutdown that a couple of guys before me tried to track down, I got lucky while test driving it, the solenoid failed with "open" windings and it never did restart 'til I replaced it.
I agree the jim, run a fused temporary power wire to the solenoid and see what happens... if that fuse blows, the solenoid obviously shorts, if that fixes it, you have to careful examine the wiring harness for damaged that is causing an intermittent short.
Just BE CAREFUL, as with the temporary jumper wire, as all safety switches and shutdown with the key will be disabled!
