I've had this problem too. I just want to be sure I understand what you are saying correctly. If you are saying there is no spark getting to the spark plug, than you will want to remove your ignition coil and just clean it up a bit. Make sure the spacing is correct between the ignition coil and the flywheel. Make sure it isn't touching but that is about a mm away from it. If this doesn't fix it, pick up a new ignition. (Some other things the "ignition" is referred to are: the "Magneto and the igntion armateur, or ignition coil.) This will surly fix the problem.
No if it is the plug that will not spark then try cleaning it. If it looks fouled get a new one. Something that may cause the plug to foul very quickly is a blown head gasket.
I hope this info may have helped you. I hope you get this problem worked out.
