I really like those motors; small and light-weight and mine run very well.
For the fuel lines….if what you have are original equipment they will be custom lengths with crimped brass fittings at the ends. You can buy replacements for those or you can replace with barbed connectors (mine are 1/8" Pipe Thread but there might be other sizes) and then just use the correct generic fuel line from an auto parts store. Much cheaper.
The real issue is the cause of your "no-spark" condition. If you end up having a failed stator it can get pricey.
If you need the test-procedures and electrical specs for testing with a VOM…let me know. I have the manual and can get you what you need.
Good luck….
