It might have started 7 times because you inadvertently had your foot on the brake.... If sitting on the ATV it's very possible. It's possible the switch is still in need of adjustment.. could just be loose.

The front hand brake has no control of the starting circuit.

Also don't forget about the cut switch on the left side of the handlebar. In order to restart it you have to push it in to reset it. If not it will turn over but not start. That one got me a bunch of times.

For the front brake situation. It sounds like you might have tightened the castle nut too tight on the front spindles. You want to get it to the point it free spins but one more flat would stop/slow that. Then put the pin through the nut. Also before installing it is a good idea to pack a little grease in the bearing. They will last much longer and it will help keep water out of the bearing.
