Make sure the connectors for the switch aren't touching each other.

You know what? ¿That just gave me an idea.. There is one thing i changed i think and it was the wires. I put a push in single connector on it so it could be plug and play.. I wonder if thats what it is.

Okim back with the results.. It was another motor i did that toso back to square one. And i havw a queation.. I noticed the spark plug was a bit hard to get in and saw that the threads were cross threaded but it does go all the way in with a tight could this be the problem even though it seems seated on ok"
It's definitely A problem. You can potentially lose a little compression if that plug doesn't thread and seal properly.
Threads are gonna eventually pull out and as the threads get weaker and weaker it's gonna leak more and more until the S/P just pops out or the threads pull out when ya remove the S/P one day
Might as well order another head or repair the head ya got with a Helicoil

If you find any fasteners that are hard to get started or becoming harder to get started, stop!
This includes spark plugs, there is something wrong with the threads and it has to be corrected before you can continue. But, if you have no regards for the longevity of your engine, please ignore my caution.
