Had a nephew of mine take the wife on a side by side cruise the other weekend when I worked.. they swamped it... we got all fluids changed multiple times.. they look good now.. was originally told they cleaned the fuel tank which I came to find out they only siphoned it out.. it ran for about 30 min b4 it died.. I took the fuel pump out and sure enough the cup in the fuel filter thingy had a bunch of mud and water as did the bottom of the tank... I cleaned the filter thing at the bottom best I could and also cleaned the tank out. Now IF it starts itll only idle, mostly with a shot of starting fluid.. I am going in between being the pump that's bad now or injectors. I have the injectors out and I get gas to the hose to them but not sure if its "enough" pressure. I guess my question is what would you think it could be? What psi should the pump be pushing? If the pump is bad, do you have to replace the whole assembly? The parts breakdown makes it look that way..

On the Talon the service manual specs 48-53 psi, I suspect the P1K is similar
