Below the throttle bodies,,, Have a look at the online parts sites as they likely have photo with reference to that nipple,,, Note the mechanical pump was prone to filling with oil and thus did not work that well,, Maybe if you loop the pipe up a bit to keep/drain the oil back into case it might work,,, but Doo drop it as a bad idea,,,

rt fuel pump

I'm a master BRP tech, I've done about 12 of those up-dates. Removing the mech. pump and installing the facet pumps specialy built for ski-doo. Why?

Don't go with the mech pump! We all know the facet pump is garbage but that would be going backwards. If you want a kick A$$ pump, then go to Napa and get a hold of an E8012S pump. It's the replacement lift pump for a 6.5 Chev Diesel truck. Same cost as the garbage one. Relocate it over on the foot well by the battery and you'll never need another one again! That facet pump is just a universal pump designed for a hot rod with a carb that gets started and run a couple times a year. I lost 3 of those facet pumps in the 05/06 season before I got smart.
