lml 125 star .... no spark

[alanc]

Hi Guys
 I'm having an issue with my wifes scoot won't start.  I'm getting fuel, timing is ok electric's ok lights coming on when i kick it over.  when i turn it over with a drill on the flywheel and the plug held against the case no spark when i move the plug 1mm of the case but not touching I get a great strong spark??? any ideas what would cause this?surly it should be the other way round.

found an old plug in the garage worked a treat.

just hoping it was a faulty plug as the one that was in had only done about 70 miles from new
