Turning over but spark

HI THERE.........hope some one can help please.........ihave a 1997 hyster H2.50XM fork lift LPG...its been stood for a week or so but ran fine before that ,but noticed tick over was a little uneven. Went to start it ,cranks over but nothing ,done all the gas checks and cleaned filters etc ,cranks over ,with power all the way to the coil,and into the distributer ,but it does not go past that ,it has no points just an electronic igniter module,ive took it to bits cleaned everything ,put back together,its still the same ,no spark at all of the plugs and ive done all the usual checks on them....so it brings me to think the igniter module might be faulty as this seems to be the last point before the actual spark to the plugs....but when i stop turning it over ,and turn the ignition off i get one solitary spark thats it..is this showing a faulty igniter module ,...any help would be great please....Thanks Andrew
