Ignition switch is fine.<br /><br />The only time you're interrupting the current to your coil (and creating a spark) is when you turn the key off. Either your points, CD box or wiring is bad - they should be make/breaking current 4X per revolution. The '72 85 has points (under the flywheel); the 125 has a different setup with a sensor in place of the points. If you find a wiring diagram, you should be able to tell whether your points are working.
