Constant spark at all times (once per engine cycle)

So if you get a spark bike starts and your riding and your ignition coil moves a little and the spark stops...your bike stops too?

where the coil mounts to the frame, is usually an earth point for the coil.
if the mount is loose, the coil may not always get a good earth,
if this is the case then you wont get a spark from the coil, down to the spark plug.
always make sure where the coils' metal mounting bracket touches the frame, that it is to clean bare metal, some grease on the metal will help to stop corrosion too.
some coils have 2x wires going to them also, one is the power from the cdi (black w/yellow stripe) the other is earth (green).
the earth wire is connected to the engine at the other end, usually via the magneto/stator plate.

How do I make sure I have a constant spark because sometimes I get a spark and other times I dont. On the times I dont I have to push all the wires in and it works again. How do I avoid doing this?
Thats exactly what im going to do thanks! Its a good thing I learned how to solder in 7th grade! :hump:
