Default 2003 MSX 140 Help

I am new to jet skis and polaris. I recently purchased a 2003 MSX 140. Here is the problem I am encountering. It is hard to start. It turns over and then finally kicks in. Upon acceleration, it completely cuts out. It is veru intermittent. It may cut out after 3 seconds or 10 minutes?

I am thinking fuel pump or maybe a bad injector? Anybody out there have similar problems?

OK..local dealer says it is most likely the fuel pump. However, they don't have one. Anybody know where I can get one?

No Ideas here, did you ask the guy you bought it from? I would think the previous owner might have a clue as to how it handled before and what kind of care they gave it. That could give you a clue as to what needs fixing.
