hi to all, i need some help with a kobelco sk120-7 lp-08549. it has started to stall the motor at low revs & make the motor work very hard at working revs when running the dipper arm ram in,all good ram out, left & right tracks all good ,boom up/ boom down all good bucket & swing all good, ram out & all combinations all good, but dipper arm in no left track, or swing. it has kpss, seems to make no difference when kpsss is turned off, the computers have been removed & checked out ok, it seems to be a stuck hydraulic valve or faulty pilot system. where & what should i check next?? cheers matt

    Mate are you sure its a -7 not a -6E?

    the tag reads sk120-7 serial- LP-08549 but i will recheck what is stamped beneath the boom mount

    Mate i must admit i have never seen a -7 kobelco in australia or china and i have no parts books for them either.

    the tag is not a genuine kobelco tag, the serial number stamped below boom mount is lp-08549. that seems to be about a series 3
