Have another post on this mower but now have another problem. Engine will not start. Ran engine for a minute or so and it just died. Battery is good, turn switch and noting no clicking or anything. It has done this a few times in the past and I would flip the pto mower switch on and off and...

My 345 surged and guy cleaned carb and still no fix and he touched the gov. spring and it quit so he replaced the spring and it fixed it.

Tried to upload pick and attach a file of carb but kept getting message file to big so no go with pick. I did take the open end of overflow rubber gas line and tried to blow through it and nothing but put suction on it and got flow and could hear gas being sloshed around in carb bowl, don't know...

Went and picked up mower and guy couldn't figure it out. Mower will crank up and run Ok for a bit and cut off and gas still present at overflow line from float, I assume. Question: To eliminate the fuel pump being the issue, can I disconnect the fuel line just downstream of the fuel filter and...

I agree but old carb was clean per the guy that is working on it.

I am sure the gas is coming from the port off of the carb. Has a small black rubber gas line hose coming off the carb and routed down under front of engine that I think is from the float bypass.

Yea the tank is clean, all new lines and filter short time ago. Had carb cleaned about yr ago and guy initially thought trash in carb causing the gas to pour out overflow but when he removed carb he said it was clean, no trash. Wonder if new carb is bad, as I said it isn't oem?

This was not OEM, guy ordered it for like 50.00. U think the new carb is junk and would OEM solve the problem? Thanks for reply

Noticed gas coming out carb float overflow?? rubber hose from carb. that I assume was from stuck float. It would just drip a few drops nothing major for several months but mower ran fine and then it increased to the point where it wouldn't run, flooding. I assumed float was sticking. Took it...

Battery charging light came on today. I assume it means battery isn't being charged. New battery and was cutting leaves and ran out of gas, when I gassed up and started mower the light came on and didn't go out. Any thought as to what it could be. Thanks

My hood on gx345 was missing when I purchased it and have a chance to buy one off of a 425. Will it fit? Thanks

Gentlemen I bought a used 2001 JD GX345 hydro drive and guy told me the brake peddle or lever will not release all the way. As you know you have to push it in to start the engine and when you release it will not return all the way up and you have to pull it up with your hand otherwise it is...

Like title says I have a 2001 JD 345 and it is annoying to have to raise up on the PTO mower handle when I am backing up, often times I forget and have to re engage. Is there a way to bypass this safety feature? There are several wires going to the engagement switch and I assume one of them...

Guys I have a 4 yr old Husqvarna MZ52 25 HP koler engine. Started missing and i cleaned plugs and it ran Ok so I changed the plugs out and ran Ok for a couple hrs of cutting and started again so I replaced plugs again with different brand and all was well for about 6 hr of cutting. Cleaned air...
