Default no spark hand proping

I cannot get a stihl 056 ( 80cc ) to produce any spark when hand proping. it has the magneto ignition system. i checked that the kill button is not grounded. If i use my electric sullivan starter with out the spark plug in, i get spark about when the electric motor is at its peak rpm. the sullivan wont budge it when the plug is in.

I saw the jump starter system listed on the c&h web site but if i buy that, might as well getthe whole cdi ignition system.

how can i get it to produce spark by hand proping?
