Ms180 not turning off.

Picked up this little trooper for £5 the other day (bargain!) have given her a good clean up whilst i wait for a new chain brake lever, oil cap, service kit & top cover in the post (I have a bar and chain to go on, I just can't find it.. It's here somewhere!)

My issue is she starts up but doesn't shut off with the switch, the spring contact lands in the right place and I can see sparks when it contacts but it doesn't stop it, I've tried jumping the switch wires at the other end with a screwdriver and again can see little sparks but she carries on running, any ideas on what to try next? Thanks :)
