Did you order a new OEM Husqvarna coil or aftermarket? I have a Rancher 55 do the same thing.. strong blue spark with plug grounded outside of the cylinder. Not a single pop even with a new plug installed. Pulled the recoil to find a new china junk aftermarket coil.
I got a used OEM Husky off of ebay, installed with a gap of a business card and it fired and ran perfect on the 2nd pull.
