"Hi so I have finally figured out my wiring"

Please tell all the ladies and gentlemen how you fixed the electrical fault, they have just waded though a page and a half of posts, you fixed it, but don't say how.

Hopefully the knocking is because you adjusted the valves on the wrong TDC. Get it to TDC on the compression stroke and check clearances again.

I will definitely post how I got there later. How do I know when I am on the compression stroke??

So I just adjusted my valves again on the right stroke and it still has a knocking sound and also got very hot. What should I do now??

And also about the wiring I had to hook up the reverse switch and ground the neutral to the motor with a gator clip!

OK, looks like you have a fault inside the engine. Get a workshop manual if you are going to strip it yourself, or send it to a repair shop. The only engine I have ever had that got very hot quickly had a badly worn exhaust cam. No idea if this is your problem.

Ok I am starting to think that my carburetor is very very lean and that the noise may be piston and rings.

Check the orientation of the oil filter and verify the larger opening is toward the case cover as these get put in backwards all the time
