Regarding the turbo, if there is a rubber hose coming from the air filter to the turbo inlet remove it, grab hold of the guts of the turbo and see if a) they spin freely with no untoward noises and without rubbing on the turbo housing and b) see if you can detect any axial or radial movement of the wheel that would indicate turbo bearing wear.

What causes a JCB js130 engine to die?

We had a similar problem with a JCB JS130 and found out it was not a fuel injection problem but a problem with the hydraulic pump but we still havent got to the bottom of it. Apparently when the pump is working at full pressure for long periods of time it will kill the engine. I would be interested to find out how you get on with your machine.

The hydraulic temperature sensor is open-circuited. The throttle set potentiometer is open-circuited. The throttle sense potentiometer is open-circuited. The oil pressure switch is reporting oil pressure is present when the engine is not running. The flywheel sensor is reporting an engine speed even though the engine is not running.

You also need a boost gauge to see if is turbo related. A small air leak into the fuel system will cause the inj timing to retard and power loss and smoke. By “hydraulic drag”, I meant something that was loading the pump even when the engine should be at idle.

There are a couple of things to look at…… If red and green lights are on then check the wiring from the throttle motor (it usually rubs on the cover plate under the hydraulic pump) where it hangs down . Re: JCB JS stopped working suddenly?
