A kick start lever might be found at a local bike wrecking yard, or online.
You should be able to remove the old high tension lead from the coil and reinstall a new replacement form a parts store.

I suppose you could use a set of spark plug wires from an auto parts store. They have cut-and-crimp-to-length kits.

Coat hanger and a bunch of electrical tape.
That's a joke by the way.

Really, I actually had to use a piece of barb wire I cut off a fence for a plug wire. It got me home where I had another plug wire. (only bit me once)
