OK, so the problem is the solenoid does not energize, rather than a mechanical problem.
I don't recall the other thread, did we determine you had a 24vDC solenoid or a 120vAC solenoid?
With the thing powered up, measure voltage across the coil of the solenoid. Is there 24vDC? Is there more like 140vDC? Or is there little or no voltage there? with power off, you can also measure the copil resistance to see if it has opened.
Once you have determined which schematic fits yours, and the serial number should settle that, the solenoid circuit is very simple, just a constant power supply.
