My biggest concern would be that you need to keep cranking the engine if you get an intake fire. You would wind up just pumping fuel int the fire if the solenoid was connected to the starter switch. It also might be more likely to flood, which would cause it to be more likely to backfire, which would start your intake fire, etc.
My O-200 has the prime nozzle right on top of the carb in the intake manifold spider (updraft carb). It works O.K. there, but not as good as if it had two nozzles by two of the heads.

What if you used the priming solenoid with an injection just behind the carburetor, or other desired locations. Connect the solenoid to a switch that only can be hot if the starter switch is hot. When you want prime, flip on the switch and when you engage the starter, the fuel flows and when you let go, it stops. Flip off the primer switch. That also gives you a safety factor that you will most likely not accidently engage the primer while in flight, and that you will not be dumping fuel in a place where it has no where to go.
