Jetmoto / Tao Tao 110 ATV. Cranks, won't start. HELP!!

I have an 8 year old Jetmot 110 ATV. Very little use, but had a good solid week of frequent use right before this issue. My daughter was riding it a LOT and I had to jump start it each time b/c the battery was a weenie. A week or so ago I put in a new battery. Which is when the problem started.

Two quick successful starts in and the motor won't start now. It turns over. It will turn over forever -
but won't start. Even though I can get the old spark plug to readily shoot sparks to the engine, I put in a new spark plug. I replaced the carburetor. But it won't start.

I took off the air filter and every 4th cycle (when starting) it kicks out fluid (gas) through the air intake. It sounds like it WANTS to fire - but never gives a pop to let you think it might turn over on its own.

I keep the hand brake on. I try with the choke fully engaged.

Like I said, I can see the sparking. Don't know what the new battery might have fried. I'm only aware of one fuse - and check it routinely.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!!
