Ok, so the pump came in and after hooking it up everything was working great. Well almost everything, the damn valve at the trigger end of my 'tool' was not properly blocking the flow of solution when the trigger was not engaged. So, another hopeless search took three days to find someone who had a rebuild kit for that valve. Thankfully the one store/person who was selling it was on ebay and it was only 10$ shipped to my door for the crappy little piece of brass and rubber.
Anyway, now it is a fully functioning and working carpet extractor. Tried it out on a kitchen rug outside on my deck and it did a great job. I think I need to pre-treat some of these faux wool rugs and agitate with a stick brush, and then go after it with the hot cleaning solution and extractor.
Just thought I would give an update, pictures will come when I get the extractor upstairs and into the third floor to do the carpets. Problem is that I can't use it for detailing until I get a detailing tool for it (the three inch kind with the single jet/emitter cheapest I have found is around 59 bucks) and I am pretty much out of cash. Who knows, if I will sell it, but at this point I am into it a cool 200$ even, a bit more than I wanted to spend! However, I do now have a fully functioning and great working piece of equipment. Might trade it for a lawn mower or some SOD or other landscaping products.
Anyway just and update. Pictures to come soon.
