Bought new, I remember that, back in 80 when I bought my 81.... Runaway had that happen to me twice, once on a Hobart Generator that was plugged in to a Helicopter I was working on,,,,, that was Scary...and a mad scramble to get it unplugged and driven away prior to it blowing up. Then once when I was driving in the hills and I thought it was resonance from a Truck....but that was before I new better... @ 145K I lost a timing belt, and it put the pistons through the head. Bought another 81 for 500 and swapped the engine (it had 150K on it). I drove it for the next 170K+ miles before selling it in 2000...
Welcome to the Forum, can't help the Ohio part but www.cabby-info.com has vendors listed, and I have had good luck with mk1Autohaus on ebay as well as a few others for OEM or near OEM quality of new parts. Giles makes a rebuilt IP that is second to none, and a good Diesel Injection pump rebuilder in your area is probably common as the Bosch IP is a quite common part amongst Dieseler's.
Sorry that I didn't see this post earlier, but I have had Deaths in the Family that took me out of state and out of internet reach... yep, there are places that don't have cell's or interweb I think it was Nirvana.
