Surplus Center Yanmar 2TNV70 RPM question?

[tinkerer]

What RPM are you guys running your Surplus Center yanmars? I was thinking about 2800? Anyone running at that RPM?

That is a good speed to run that engine. Modern 2 cylinder engines like Yanmar, Kubota and Perkins/Cat like running between 2600-3000 rpm. Many generator and APU manufactures seem to like 2800 rpm for modern 2 cylinder diesels. I feel you made the correct decision.
