Spark issue

Morning guys
Noobie here
Bought myself a 2006 dt125x fixer upper
Currently doesn’t run and want to get it running before I strip it to get the frame powder coated
Issue I have is while holding the start button there’s no spark but as soon as I release the start button there’s a few sparks before the motor stops
I have purchased a brand new battery for her.
Neutral light is on and side stand switch checks out okGonna start testing everything this weekend and run a wire to the starter to bypass the start button and see if she sparks.
Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks in advance
Steve

@morty bump start any good?
-
Check the cables between the ignition switch and the loom. If they oxidise it'll cause problems.
The CDI could be faulty.
Double check the coil impedance against the manual. Make sure the HT Lead and spark plug is okay.
Ensure the generator is functioning as intended.

Tried running wire to starter first with ignition on and she fires up and runs.
I’m thinking there must be a short somewhere or a bad connection
I read something about issues with ignition switch so might start with this
