Mike: There may be transmutation of potassium to sodium going on. The cessation of the sparking before all the water boils off may indicate that the majority of the potassium has been transmuted to sodium since the potassium carries the reaction and sodium does not.
Initially in order to establish a baseline, check for sodium before sparking the solution to establish sodium is not present in the potassium salt. After the sparking stops, test for sodium. Vaporize the salt and look for the yellow spectrum bands.
