Your thinking of the electro pilot jet on it's own. These go back to the early 1970s and the DAF days. Here's one on a 44:

They're just a solenoid and work on the basis of ignition ON - jet open. Ignition OFF - jet closed.

The fuel shut-off relay, is a RPM controlled switch, which shuts the above solenoid under certain conditions to save fuel.

Now although the manual says MT only from 1987, the picture of the box above is from a 1989 CVT car...
