Answer
Tim,

yes, your bike is a 2 stroke engine.
The fuel/oil premix ratio is about 4 ounces of
motorcycle two stroke oil to a gallon of gas.

The stator needs to be working to have spark
or ignition. The ignitor or ignition module
gets it's power from the stator.

These stators are very expensive to buy new.
The only solution is if you can find a used one or a parts bike
or find someone that knows how to rebuild
it. http://rides.webshots.com/album/85646192Wwnwwu

A new stator could cost $800.00 from
Kawasaki or other parts stores.
Ebay maybe? or write these guys:

The engine has to have compression as well.
And the ignitor or ignition module
must also work for the bike to run.
You could try the module on another
similar bike to check it.
