The spring connecting to the throttle popped off. Trying it get it re-attached. I heard a pop, but can not find what came off.

Are you referring to spring # 232?

I have tried to loosen the solenoid, it wont budge. Go figure, nothing in the project has been easy

As the solenoid is under the carb, to remove it, turn it CLOKWISE (while looking DOWN AT IT).
 
It's regular threads.

I've read elsewhere to turn it counterclockwise. I'll try CW

No. I am referring to spring/wire # 216, part of it is shaped like a paperclip

Ok.. Piece of cake..
 
The regular end goes into the top of the choke plate (on the carb), it just hooks in to a hole.
There may be several holes (don't think so), but the linkage, while pushing it, should close the choke butterfly.
 
The "paper clip end"  slips into the main governor bracket (bolted to the engine) .
They'll be a slot for that end to go into... It does not go thru any other holes, slips into, etc,
just slides in... 
 
The way it works is the other choke linkage (bolted to the block), when the choke is applied
PUSHES the "paper clip" end thru its' slot.   That in turn CLOSES the actual choke butterfly.

Just to be clear, the solenoid threads are regular threads, not reverse. 
 
Sooo, it the carb was on your bench, bowl facing you, turn it counter clockwise to loosen..
