2000 Kawasaki Bayou 300 Ignition Problems

[tx4wheeler]

I am having what I think is ignition problems. My 2000 Bayou 300 seems to flood very easy when starting. At first I thought it was a carb problem but while testing the spart I noticed that there is no spark while the engine is turning over. When you let off of the ignition swith there is one spark. But only when you let off of the ignition switch. It has a new coil, plug wire, and plug. Any ideas? I dont know if it is the ignition box, or maybe the ignition switch. Any help would be appreciated.

Help! I Purchased an 86 Bayou 3 days ago and put a couple miles on it yesterday. It is in excellent shape showing very little use and did run great. Then the rain came down in buckets for an hour while I took cover. When the rain stopped it wouldn't start. I am experiencing the same exact problem, one spark when I release the starting switch with the spare plug shorted against the head. I haven't had time to dig into it but could use a direction. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
