YES, any dodgy electrical connection could effect spark.
If there's a bit of surging due to poor connection this can make it play up :!:
Corrosion is a favourite, the positive connections can loosen & corrode badly, usually the hidden ones :roll:

check your kill switch as well, the springs rust and the connectors bounce as you go along.

dodgy ignition switch is the problem i have at the moment , imagine the switch as a clock , key in and 6 oclock is on , now its changed, 5 past 6 is on.
but its not effecting the cyl , just cuts out some times
