I just bought a 340 (Utility) a couple weeks ago. It wouldn't be a bad idea to drain the fuel tank and pull off the whole sediment bowl/ fuel valve assembly and flush the tank.. I think because of the way the tank funnels down to the low spot where the valve is located, a LOT of crud and corruption collects there... (Don't ask how I know, but the carb probably needed to be torn down and cleaned anyway....)
There's a great video on uTube showing how to adjust the T/A on the 340, might be worth checking out. A functioning T/A on the 340 is a HUGE asset. Mine isn't exactly overwhelmed with power in road gear, and I use the T/A going to and from my house when mowing.( From my shop to my house is about 3 miles with BIG long hill on the way)
Could I ask a favor??
I'd like to have the measurements for the hole where the exhaust comes through the hood. Mine has a low mounted exhaust and I want to change to a vertical one, and I would prefer to get it right the first time that I attack the sheet metal with a hole saw!
Thanks ahead of time.... Ed

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
