2000 twin ox66 150's hpdi: the engines run great for the first hour or so then the port engine, when operating at 2000> rpms drops rapidly to apx 1800 rpm then again rapidly increases to 2000>. this sequence is repeated in very fast movements until i pull back on the throttle. It operates well at that point on if I keep it at under 2000 rpm's. Engine oil tank is at normal level, new fuel filters (as it is only the port engine and a common fuel supply I believe fuel is not at issue here). There is no alarm given when this happens, both engines seem to be at normal operating temperature.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Check the low pressure fuel pumps behind the VST tank.
