It might also be worth taking apart the pump (just remove the threaded valves and inserts) and soak it in citric acid for a bit. It will probably still need a rebuild given the condition of the machine but you might get it functional at least for some testing.

I will take it apart but I just got to Cabo San Lucas so it will be a couple of weeks

What's the best way to test the heating element?
