Rich, change all fuel filters, then go over the entire fuel line system and check and tighten all hose connections, and try it again.Testing the injectors at this point is a total waste of money.

That sounds like a fuel issue to me. Either getting air in the system someplace OR the fuel is clogging either in a filter or a fitting, or a line is collapsing. Might even be the fuel tank vent being..... |

"If I sucked some air woulnd´t it drop in rpm?"
I lost fuel due to clogs 3 times when I had my old Perkins. Every time the engine went HIGHER in rpm before it died. |

Yep, my Perkins will start surging up about 200 rpms when my filters start showing dirty on the vacuum gauge. New Racors has always fixed it. |

Check around the throttle shaft where it goes into the injection pump. If the seal is shot you will find that the new seal is made from different material due to low sulphur fuel. |

Yup, could be the L.S. fuel. Could also be just age. All seals harden and lose their ability to conform to the surface they ride on and of course they wear.

I think you can relax - your engine is a turbo version, and the turbo was not added later. The decode for the engine number is here: http://www.perkins.com/cda/files/287332/7/Engine_Number_Guide_Engl..... |
