Husqvarna will crank but won't Start.

If you have a bent push rod , there's a reason , you need to pull the head and look at the piston.

Timing is close enough to run if your thumb is blown from the spark plug hole at the exact time we see a spark when the plug or wire is grounded .If it passes that test there's no need to pull the fly wheel .

If the flywheel key is only slightly sheared , it aint starting
