XM - Fuel Pump?

[KG1]

Hey Guys,

Taking a bit of a long shot, but do any of you have an old XM fuel pump kicking around - working or not? I broke the return fuel nipple off of my 2013 XM somehow (same thing that caused the recalls in 2013).

Ski-Doo tells me I can't just buy this part, and have to buy a whole fuel pump assembly. A cost of $550 I'd rather avoid if at all possible.

See pic, am hoping someone replaced one or has one in an off chance. I'd even be willing to trade for a case of beer?

Thanks!

Are you able to thread a hole and use a brass nipple in it?
