Thanks guys. It may have been the other list but seems Simone mentioned the oil flow to the PSRU suffered if too low. I am trying to run the last gallon or so out of the pump so I can weigh the thing. Borrowed scales. The rpm is 1232

I usually don't stay there for long as it seems I recall mention Tracy's PSRU may not like it that low. I usually idle around 1550 - 1650 rpm. It doesn't seem to matter much regarding temperature raising over a somewhat extended period.
