Ive been struggling with this motor for weeks. It does have a fuel pump but havent replaced that. Should I? I cant figure out whats wrong.

Ok, that's not a stator coil. It is a magneto, or as the parts book calls it, Ignition module. The stator or stator coil is behind the flywheel.
If it has a new mag, and good spark, then it can only be one thing. Fuel. Take the carb off and disassemble it. It must be plugged. I know, you "rebuilt" it. But that doesn't mean anything. If the fuel pump is in deed failing it will send pieces of the diaphragm into the carb and plug the jet. Seen it before.
IDK if the fuel pump is bad, test it. You can gravity feed this engine if necessary. Did you try running it with a full tank of fuel? The fuel pump is only really needed when the fuel level gets below carb level.
