Maybe it's not overheating, I turned down the I turned on the pilot fuel screw from 2 turns out to 1 turn out readjusted the air screw got it to stop popping and now it will run with the choke fully off (progress) tomorrow I will change the spark plugs.

Never overheating.
Overheating = lean fuel to air mixture
Your spark plug looks like the opposite, really fat fuel to air mixture = unburnt fuel
It could be a problem with your choke enricher circuit
