Dennis, I think you meant to say 10 psi per 1000 rpm.

Low idle speed and wrong viscosity oil can both cause this problem.  Find out
what oil is being used (should be 20-50 or synthetic equal) and have oil
pressure checked with a gauge.  Typical healthy engine should hold about 10
psi per 100 rpm up to the relief valve setting, (engine warm).

Dennis.
