Where is the tank vent located on a CS 345? The attached photo has a fatter line on the right going to the primer bulb and the thinner one going in towards the cylinder area. I removed the pull start but can't figure out wjere it goes or how to access it if this ia the vent line

Not that familiar with the model- but with most purge valves- one line comes from the carb to the valve, the other is a return to tank.
Is the actual tank vent not a small fibre filled plastic doohaddy situated somewhere near the top of the tank filler cap?

Try a search for an Echo CS 345 IPL (illustrated parts list) or parts list and it should come up with an exploded view of numbered parts that will explain things better than I can.

Tank vent is usually behind the top handlebar on the clutch side,
behind the recoil cover, or up top below the filter area in the
inbox, I do not think its up top on the saw in question.
You have to remove the top handle reach in with pointy
pliers and pull out the vent after that handle bar is off,
its can be in a small black shroud to keep it safe.
You have to pull the valve out with the shroud on it,
then take the shroud off if one is present, put the shroud
over the new valve and push back into the pipe, there is a small
spring clip that needs to be pulled up the pipe to rest on the fat part
where the valve is to keep the valve in place.
