Default spark plug getting adequate spark?

Hi everyone,
I have a 2 cycle engine from a weed whacker that just wont start. it's in good condition, i took it all apart and cleaned/oiled everything properly, but when i crank it, it doesnt fire even once. i do the trick where you take the spark plug out and touch it to the side of the cylinder, and i CAN see a spark. it's blue but very small. looks like a hair's width and jumps across the gap. when i spray starter fluid right into the chamber or in the air, the spark CANNOT ignite it. could there be a problem with the ignition coil or something?
thanks
