Red face Help!! Won't start

I've got a 1999 big bear and I can't get it to start. I have a spark everytime I try pulling it.
When I use the electric start it sparks the first time and won't spark if I hit it the second time, unless I wait a little bit.

What I've tried:
New coil
Different CDI box
New starter
New plug
Different battery
Ran ground to starter then to frame (was on motor)
Cleaned terminals

I've ran out of ideas!!

When it is in neutral, does the neutral light come on?

Clean carb. and replace the gas. A guy just down the road from me works on bikes and quads as a profession and he says that lately, because of the gas available, he has to do this to most machines that come through the shop.

Sorry I got distracted by a phone call and didn't read the entire post. I'm off base.
