not getting spark

[dt125 newb]

hey guys recently picked up a dt 125 x engine and loom etc, was trying to get her running, was weather seized but have her freed up now i think its a 2001 model, anyway was turning it over and first of all i was only getting spark once when i hit the button then no more no matter how long i held it, but if i let go again and press again it will spark once and then nothing again, but now i am not getting any spark at all and nothing has been changed, wa sthe coil just on the way out anyway or is it something else i have missed cheers for help!

Start checking with a multimeter. You're going to be chasing your own tail without one.
