Default 2002 polaris sportsman 700 still not starting

Hey guys new to the page. I bought a 2002 Polaris sportsman 700 knowing that it didnt run and everything I've read lead to replacing the ignition system so I did. Installed everything correctly and I'm still not getting the machine to run. It has every thing it needs to run but I cant get It to do anything. I've taken it to two different shops and they both were not able to figure out what was wrong with it. Both places have confirmed that I installed the new ignition system correctly and they checked everything from fuel, air, spark, compression, timin. Luckily they did not charge me for a diagnosis fee but I need to get this runnin. Any help would be appreciated.
thank

Default Spark plug gap

Not sure if the dealer you brought it to would check the spark plug gap but I bought an old scrambler 500 and the only thing that kept it from running was an improper spark plug gap. Look it up (correct year and model) and get a cheap spark plug gapper and as long as it’s got air, gas, and a good spark it should start.
