Default Outlaw 50 no spark

I have an outlaw 50 my son was riding it Sunday and yeasterday it would not start or even attempt to start with the electric start or kick starting. I check and am not getting any spark at the plug. if i unhook the starter realy and jump it the start will turn the motor over just fine but still no spark. Its crazy it was running just fine the day before any help would be great.

thanks,
Chase

Wire break at a solder joint at the base of the ignition switch or what? Your finding the problem may help others that may be going through the same thing.

I took the switch apart and where the wires come thru there are 4 metals pads that when the switch is turned will close the connection and 1 was very dirty. Luckily the switch comes with 4 wires and only need 2 so i was able to pull the other 2 wires and swap the position in the connector and use the other 2 metals pads.
