K, I think I fixed my machine. There was a dead lizard in the motor. 
Anyways....
This portable is a Mytee Speedster 1003HV (High Velocity) with dual 3 stage vacs in parallel and 450psi pump. Can I run 100' length on this or do I have to stick to 50' with a regular wand?
Also, what about with a Rotovac dual head? Same lengths?
Thanks guys.

Change the intake on the machine to 2 inch and use 50' of each  -------------

100' with 2-3stage? Well, You can BUT you will definetely have to do a few more slower dry strokes..
I would stay 50'.. 25' even better for dry times..
I ran 75' with the porty i have which has 2-3stage and i had to do 6 slow dry strokes on this carpet before i was happy with the level of moisture left..

totalsolution, You will have no problem using the 100 ft. of hose with what you have. But, what makes sense is use the 100 ft. only when necessary to give you the very best performance.

But only if you keep the lizards out of the motor. Otherwise, shorteen to 25' to compensate for the drop in lift you will experience, eh? ------------- Inventor of Teflon Carpet Wand Glides.Free Glides for all Cleaners in June! |
