Changfa Engines / Re: Need help with Jiang Dong 1115

Just a quick update. I purchased a new fuel pump from WSE on AliExpress for roughly $45 and also installed a Racor style R12 fuel filter/water separator. Just to make sure I didn't have a head gasket problem I pulled the head -- no sign of bypass but since I had a spare gasket went ahead and installed it.
All buttoned up now and it runs great. Set up with a 11KW Stamford style head from Central Georgia.
At this point I believe the fuel pump was the culprit particularly in view of the over full sump with diesel present.
I was pleasantly surprised how fast the pump was delivered from China -- ordered on September 19 and received on Oct 10. I've ordered spare head gaskets from WSE and price was pretty reasonable -- roughly $7.50 each. I was interested to see that this engine has 6 head bolts vs. 4 head bolts found on most ZS1100 and ZS1115 engines.
Thanks for the input from everyone who posted and thanks to those who keep this forum going.
