Are you sure you're spinning it backwards?

Yes when rolling the bike backwards it sparks but when rolling it in the drive direction no spark

That's odd. I'm not a whizzer guru, so you might want to wait for @mason_man @Wrench or @Risk Man for better help

Is the clutch engaging in forward movement and reverse? That would be pretty obvious I guess.
