As far as fuel line, what part of it do you need? From tank to pump, pump to carb? Metal/rubber?

Ok got my profile set up! As far as the fuel line, I need from pump to carb. It has a metal one now but I would rather have a flexible line if possible. Either way I cant seem to find one.

With a flaring tool and a tube bender, they are super simple to make. Any local shop, auto or marine can do it. I recommend using copper tubing.

Can't find rubber fuel line? Every automotive store has fuel line sold by the foot.

I called local automotive store and the guy says you have to double flare the tube because the fuel line has a seam in it. Made it seem like u had to have special tools other than a flaring tool.

Flaring tools do single and double. It's common knowledge in the trade. That's why I recommended a local auto or marine shop. Not your local parts joint.
