Your Engine may be stuck in compression when it will not start. Turning over a flathead by hand will take it out of compression.

I am tending to agree that the starter is suspect, and it doesnt like the high compression area of the rotation. Good luck

Default Starter not working

Hi
Check to see if the bolts that hold the starter are good and secure.

The grounding of the starter is through these bolts.
