Valves are set correctly no tapping sound anymore but still no luck starting with new carby (without adjusting the idle and mixture screws etc)

OK let's review;
Wiring is correct and we have a nice spark on the sparkplug, you did make sure the engine run switch is on right?
New carb installed, do you have good gas flow to the carb? On your fuel tank does it have a manual shut off valve or what we call a vacuum petcock valve?
Muffler back on.
Adjusted the valves.
Try putting a little gas back in the spark plug hole and see what it'll do since the muffler is back on?

Then my only suggestion at this point is to pull the head and see if we have a stuck valve or one that is not seating or burnt.

I meant to ask did you make sure you still had a good spark after installing the new brake switch?

I would take it apart first, one it may only need to have the valves lapped, very easy and inexpensive ( wife will love that) and two if you do need anything by taking it apart you can see what's wrong = no guessing.

Ok I'll do that today sand them down the valves but I do have to remember about the timing marks correct when the cylinder comes off because of the chain

Yes set it at TDC and take pictures for reference, they come in handy if you forget.
