I need help from the experts. Cat 312BL serial no 8JR01214. The hydraulics seem to be overloading the engine. Swing and bucket curl is fine. Boom up and down is ok. Dipper function is slow and reallly loads the engine to the point of blowing black smoke. It tracks fine as long as you are going straight, but twist the machine with the tracks and the engine loads up. It won't stall the engine, but it gets loaded.
I have had rodent problems (chewing wires) so this may be a hint. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
