If you do not have an armature draging from heat expansion in starter (starter is OK ). One very easy way to start a high compression hot engine is to FLOOD the engine before hitting the starter button. If it is bumping against starter or firing a hole or two before starter gains enough RPM, help it out by pumping pedal 1 or 2 times. This wets the plugs a bit and allows it to spin over and gain starting RPM, this will then quickly dry the plugs and light right up.
This is the only way I could start my blown motors before all these gear reduction starters became available . Have fun.
