    Hitachi Zx-130lcn-6 woes.

    Thanks! I’ve got myself copies of all the manuals including the one for the 4jj1 engine, so I hope to not be quite so ignorant with my questions from here on out. This is a machine I bought at a good price for personal use on my farm, so I’m hoping to get it going without too much “throwing...

    Hitachi Zx-130lcn-6 woes.

    @LACHAU one question you might be able to answer. When comparing a select few sensors to a known working machine, the problematic one has a drasticly different “common rail DP”.

    Hitachi Zx-130lcn-6 woes.

    Evening. I’ve got a 2017 Zx-130 that I am having issues with. It starts and runs fine, but 10-15 minutes after starting it begins to smoke and knock when under load. It idles just fine, but when the engine is put under load it smokes black and starts to knock. Once you let off the controls...
