Default new Turnigy26 rear carb...spark problem

Hello experts

I have one of the new turnigh26cc rear carb engines installed in a Ultimate bipe. When I went to run the engine for the first time it would not start. Pulled the plug and no spark, bypassed the switch and no spark. Tried a different battery, nothin...so I put the new battery (one I m ade up of nimh from Walmart 5 cell) on the charger over night. It peaked up to 6.9v...when I turned the switch on the plug it now fires but repeatedly until I turn the switch off. I then tried a 5cell pack that only had 6.3volts and back to no spark when turning the prop. Do I have one of those brand new yet bad ignitions from China...I also have two Turnigy 52cc engines that run just fine...The 26 is a sweet little motor..very small and light but not much good if it won't run...any ideas from the experts....I know your out there 8^) Thanks in advance
