Lance Cabo 50 electrical issues plus no spark

[Smgstl]

Hello scooterpeeps, I've got an issue to run by you guys. Ive got a lance Cabo 50 (4stroke) that has a handful of possibly related issues. Between last year and this season, I moved and lost the keys to the ignition so took to a locksmith and they made a new set for existing ignition. Here come the issues. As soon as the battery is hooked up, the scooter has power. Lights, dash, even starter will crank with or without key in ignition, and ignition turned on or off. Simultaneously, I've got a no spark condition. Using a properly running donor scooter, I replaced the plug, ignition coil and wire, and the cdi. Still no spark. I took the stator out and this is where things get confusing for me... it has one wire for the pickup, and only two (white, and yellow) coming from the stator. There is no groumd wire to stator, so I think its called floating ground? I tested all three wires for resistance and all fine. I also tested ground to motor, frame, etc and seems OK. I was going to simply replace the stator and see if it solves the issue, but I believe the ignition always on issue is related. Could a bad ground connection or a grounded wire cause the ignition to stay on? If I have a bad ground anywhere, or a killswitch improperly functioning, I would assume that I would not get power to the starter, but I do... are there any scenarios that allow power to the scooter but would cause no spark?
Thanks in advance for your help... I've got 3 other scooter projects right now and you will be hearing more questions.
