Would it be safe to assume a boost solenoid was 12v operation?

If you have a GOOD multimeter measure the resistance of its coil. Ohm's Law will then say what current it would draw at 12V and you can see if it is sensible. I suspect it WILL be a 12V one though if you feel lucky? Can't you just look at the voltage coming out of the circuit that controls it? Or are you trying to utilise a random solenoid in a different circuit?

I would go so far as to say it WILL be 12V , but as you say, it will be pulse width modulated. I am thinking of bringing a cheap pulse width modulation tester to the marketplace, so people can test coil packs, injectors, drive by wire throttle motors, and of course, PWM opersted solenoids. i have got as far as designing a cheap to make PWM oscillator, and am working a FET power device for switching that people can't blow up ;)
