broken primer solenoid vacuum port

[SilverSS07]

Hey guys. Finally got the engine painted and mounted on the boat! Started her up for the first time today . Had a few minor leaks and am fixing them now but when I was taking it apart I was pulling one of the vacuum lines off the primer solenoid and the little plastic nipple broke. I really don't want to drop $170 on a new one but I can't think of any way to repair it. Could I just plug it at the solenoid and put a tee on the other vacuum line? Thanks for the help. Hopefully I can water test her in a few days!!

You can buy the new tops for those and not the whole solenoid. Check shop.evinrude,com and look up you mtr.

Sorry I forgot to put what motor it was. It's a 1982 Evinrude 140. So in the diagram would it be part #21 and #31? Thanks guys. Appreciate the help!
