Post the year and model of the 250, so as to better answer questions. Patton will have a tutorial for adding it to your profile signature for all posts.

Including information about bike year and model is helpful to viewers and usually elicits better responses.
It's easy to put the information in your signature where it shows in all posted messages, past and future.
And may be changed whenever and as often as desired.
If wanting a signature showing information about the bike in posted messages, it's easy to do. Here's how:

well it's a 1982 Kawasaki z250c single don't know much else about the bike as I only just bought it and the guy I bought it of wasnt very helpful with the bikes history, alls I was told it had been sitting in his shed for about 10 months and he hasn't bothered with it.. if its not the points what would be the next thing to check, thanks

well i tryed to do the points but it dosent seem to have them. is this normal?

By your year they have electronic ignition. No points, unless someone changed the setup.
If you only get one spark then nothing, I would first try a New Plug. Then check the ignition Coil, and the Spark Plug wire/ cap.
Do you have a way to test for voltage and resistance, a Volt Ohm Meter?

Thanks, Motor Head!

Yes, electronic ignition with pulsing coil and igniter -- no points.

Good Fortune!

Anybody got a link to a 250 manual for Trent? That would help him out a lot I bet.

I found this link, try it: www.mediafire.com/?blzzn71mzzj

What procedure is producing the one single spark?

Does simply turning the ignition switch from OFF to ON produce the single spark?

Does simply turning the ignition switch from ON to OFF produce the single spark?

Is crankshaft rotation required to produce the single spark?

Am thinking the ignition coil has two small wires plus the one large spark plug wire.
One small wire furnishes battery positive voltage to the coil.
The other small wire connects the coil's primary winding to ground (through the igniter).
While grounded, the coil "charges."
When un-grounded (via igniter and pulsing coil during crankshaft rotation), the coil "fires" through the spark plug wire.
