Is the plug cap loose? It will come apart if you pull on the cap, and maybe it isnt seated all the way.
Carry an extra new plug, and next time you dont have spark, try the new plug and see if it has spark. If it doesnt have spark either, its gonna be a loose connection, or faulty ig or kill switch. Does engine temperature factor in? Does it only do it hot? or cold?

Check your kill switch for proper operation.

Which switch is off..the kill switch? The starter will still rotate the motor when, the kill switch is in the off position, and the starter button is pressed.
If the ignition switch is off, the starter motor should be able to turn.
