Reading the small print in my Yanmar 3YM30AE engine, it has a "fuel stop" at 3,200rpm and states "continuous operation" at 3,100rpm. I was always taught to run these 3 cyl diesels at around 2,500rpm (needle straight up on rev counter, easy to set). I know these engines are designed for long periods running at a single speed (their predecessors were used as paddy field pumps in Asia running for years at a time).
Curious what normal motoring revs you set if you have the same/similar engine? Do you do the carbon clearing procedure after a day out (clutch in, 5x short bursts of full power)?
