Could be that the fuel pump clogged... or the diaphragm for the fuel pump commonly dies out.

What causes a car to stall then backfire?

Your car backfires when you need a new transmission,or tune up. How do you know the difference? Simple...if your car backfires then wont start, or wont start and then backfires,you need a transmission. If it backfires, and then starts moments after, you need a tune-up. Glad to help...David

What does a lawnmower solenoid do?

You don't NEED it exactly its just a fancy box that connect your battery wires to the starter. If your lawnmower is clicking/wont start or silent when you turn the key its possible its the solenoid. undo the rubber covers from the solenoid touch the two bolts together using something metal and start it up, bam. you just by-passed the solenoid. (the solenoid will be next to the starter in most cases and have two rubber wire covers on them)
