maybe you looked at this post already:

If you still have the S-500 stop switch?...first get rid of that.. Bad news, a proven problem now or later.
You can bypass eliminate, or replace that with a non-momentary switch with compatible plug.
And yes, a jiggly ignition switch can cause the same mystery stalling. You should feel a distinct detent with each key position.

And what about your fuel line routing?... is the suction side going over the head?... maybe it's vapor locking.

The fuel line is going around the side. Im going to try a comprission check even tho it didn't smoke. Im think the decomprsion is stuck closed.im getting good spark and fuel the spark will ark if I don't have a plug in it. Can valve needing ajusted cause it not to just die and not start.

Did the cam gear bolt back off? Is so where did the timing pins go, did they tear anything up?
