I have read many posts about the 345 riders just quitting,which I was one of also.I may have at least found my problem maybe will help others.Some how japan beetles found a way into my fuel tank and was plugging off fuel flow to the engine.I emptied out my fuel tank completely,then disconnected fuel line on the feed side of my fuel filter,and blew air back into the fuel tank and then used a shop vac,to remove debris.I did this procedure strictly on a hunch,yesterday so far so good.I will report again in a month how my 345 runs,I have to say I was ready to take a shot gun to my 345 and put it out of it's misery.Also now my fuel filter is full of fuel while running instead of less than half full,I hope this discovery will help others.
