Small amount of chain rub on the tire is not too bad as long as it does not chew up tires. Which way do you have your sprocket on? You may be able to flip it and get a little more clearance.

I am not sure what light you have, I hope that the mag can handle the light you have. Red will go to white and the black will go to ground on the frame/motor.
 
the headlight works no i just need to solve this chain problem its fine when i pedal but running the motor the chain sometimes bumps into the tire causeing some damage to the edge o the tire any fix to this?

adjust your back wheel so the chain doesnt touch tire.
you can flip your sprocket over if that would help or use a thin spacer to move it over, just make sure your chain is still lined up,you can use the tensioner to help line up the chain to the rear sprocket.
 
this is so wierd the carberator was leaking gas but i shut off the valve and the leak stopped then i ran the motor with the fuel valve closed and let the carb run dry and opened the valve. no more leaks was the carb just flooded?
 
I have a 26*2.125 size tread in the back wheel that is having some clearance issues so is it possible to use a 26*1.95 tread to allow for more clearance safely?

That is the best solution. If you try to "move" the rear tire over, or run your chain around the titre with the tensioner, you are asking for problems.

A little tire rub is harmless, other than ruining your whitewalls if you have them. Running the chain in an out of alignment condition can be hazardous.
