I tried the same search but kept seeing a black solenoid that looks like it’s a primer

Tested this solenoid yourself ?-----Why would you need a new solenoid for the choke ?----What is your motor doing / not doing??----Does motor start right up with manual choke ?

A mechanic that was looking at it for me said when you push the key in to choke the solenoid is not engaging

Try using a jumper wire to test this yourself.----Those rarely fail.-----Might just be a wiring issue !
