I just got a 340 so will be learning alongside you. However, the 340 has a separate pump for the power steering if I am not
mistaken. That it bogs when turning one way implies a plugged relief valve or something wrong with that system.

Does the engine respond to adjusting the engine speed setting on the dash? Does it rev up and come to high idle like it should? Can
you drop it back to low idle afterwards?

Does it die when you attempt to drive it? If so, that is a symptom of being stuck in two gears at once, locked/frozen brakes, or
some other transmission problem. Dave
 
Couple of things I would do. If you have a plug in the carb remove it and let the gas run for a couple of minutes. If the stream is good and stays that way then the only way to have a fuel problem would be if
passages in the carb were plugged up. Bases on what you found in the inlet screen the carb may need cleaning. If the stream is weak then there could be something clogging the outlet to the tank. There should
be a screen in the sediment bowl and if its missing put one in. Its easy to tell when the bowl is off. The other thing I would think about is a weak spark. I would clean and regap the points and see it that
helps.
