Send the pump to farrel diesel service while your down he does great work at a very good price and has a quick turn a round. It's very worth it! My 215 runs awesome I have a similar setup other than I'm fire ringed and studded

Go with comp cut delivery valves instead of full cuts, they actually run fairly clean and fuel almost as much.
