Default No spark cold

My 2003 1200C sportster has some weird issue!!
If I run engine everyday I have no issues. if it sits for a day or 2 it will run for a few seconds then I must turn key to off position for a few seconds then restart, it will run a couple seconds longer each time I start it, then eventually just keep running like it never had an issue!!it is not getting spark to the coil each time it quits. I only have this issue if I don't start the bike everyday and run it a bit. the battery cables are tight and the battery is fully charged. I thought fir sure it was the ignition module but it runs so dam good unless it sits a few days. Anybody have a clue what the hell is happening??
THANKS
