Loosing spark

Loosing spark
So I bought a 96 Polaris xplorer 300 4x4 2 stroke. It runs and drives but dies. Bought it from a family friend who I watched replace the carb, stator, ignition coil, rectifier, and pick up coil. Was still loosing spark could run anywhere from 20 seconds to 5 minutes. I bought it replaced the cdi box thinking that was it, changed nothing. Tried the original ignition coil and spark plug wire, changed nothing. I don't get it. I even added a ground changed nothing. I do have a spark tester light and shines bright then it goes out and machine dies. I'm lost and about to bring it to a shop unless anybody has any suggestions. Greatly appreciated for any advice.
