Craftsman Mower Mod.917.271634 Runs for 30 min. gets hot and shutsdown. Will start again when cool only after I remove spark plug and let excess gas drain. Crank engine couple times to blow gas out spark plug hole replace plug and it starts. Fuel solenoid has current and appears to work properly. Cleaned carb and replaced. Now mower runs rough when it starts. Will appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
