You would split the gears if load and or taking off on a grade. You may need to check and see that the 2-speed motor is working the way it should, could be wiring,fuse, etc. If you need a wiring diagram, etc. I have those, just email me and I can send one back to you, Mike momanning@godisforyou.com [Reply]  [No Email]

Sounds like it"s running rich but I think this may be a clutch problem, though I"ve only really dealt with engines. Upon switching it from 1st to rev, the driveshaft hardly moves. 2-speed gear on axle sounds like its operating, though, yet it"s hard to tell. Gettin" a bit stumped on our 345. thanks for all your help-the information I"ve found so far is a beaut".   [Reply]  [Send Email]
