The lines fit tight to prevent leaking. You must disconnect the fuel filter and pull the line out. Cut the new line end "v" shaped to allow you to push back into tank. Long needle nose pliers will complete the job.

First remove the cover,air filter and the carburator.Then remove the gas tank cap and the fuel filter from inside of gas tank,at the end of fuel line.Take off the fuel line from the hole of the gas tank(at the top),replace the fuel line,put all back together and start the engine.

just connect them both anyway you chose. press prime button a few times to pressurise tank. you get a 50/50 chance to get it right.
if it just sucking air release pressure first by removing filler cap to prevent face full of fuel then swap pipes over on carb. i did this job a couple of weeks a go on my husky66. only use proper flexy pipe from a lawn mower centre. costs about £2.50 / foot.

I have seen the current gas eat away and melt fuel lines. I would bet there is some gunk in the carb which is why you are not seeing fuel on the plug. You will need to remove, disassemble, and clean the carb. If you haven't done it already make sure you replace the fuel filter too.
