Yes, spark is good
I changed the mag thinking that although there was spark, maybe it was too weak to fire it
Fuel lines are part of the base of the carb - both have fine screens on the bottom (both clean)
Both the old carb that I cleaned, then rebuilt, and the new carb, which is not an OEM, act the same way

I measured the length of both pickup tubes to make sure they were not sitting flat on the bottom of the tank, and added an additional gasket to give a few thousands more.
