BullHazzer, besides the spark problem, you might still have a bum starter. When a starter goes bad, sometimes it acts like a weak battery. This is common with older Ford starters (the kind that did not have the solenoid attached to the starter motor). When those would go, the amount of amperage needed to turn them (and the engine) would skyrocket. Since the battery cannot increase its amperage to compensate, it would seem like a weak/dying battery. The engine would crank slowly a few times and then just stop. One way to check this is to check the positive battery cable. If the starter is drawing excessive amps, the cable will get hot (or even start smoking, as the insulation melts). I've seen this happen on a car I had once.
The only reason I bring this up is that such a situation can be dangerous and you'll want to correct it. And the fact that the starter will crank the engine fine without the plugs in, but only 5 times or so with them in, suggests that you still have a problem in that area. Either the starter is beginning to fail, or the battery isnt hold charge properly. I suggest having both of them tested. Most auto parts stores can test the battery, but you'll probably need to take the starter to a bike shop to have it tested, as the auto parts store probably wont have the amp draw specs necessary to properly test the starter.
good luck
