I have run 2 different 52 X 44 props on 1835 engines. One was a Hagy and the other was a Prescision propeller. Both gave 3000 rpm or better static.
If your engine is producing full power, and the prop is pitched correctly, you should be getting around 3000 rpm static.
Maybe you can borrow a prop frome someone to use as a test to see if the problem is the prop or the engine.
