Fuel in the exhaust for a Perkins is normal when it first starts up. Once to temp it should go away. I run mine at 1800, but it easily tolerates 2000. I'm wide open at about 2500. Perkins are notoriously stinky and smokey when first started but otherwise pretty bullet proof. Replacing the exhaust elbow with stainless was a good move.
