Hello all. To start I'd like to say that this forum has been immensely helpful in rebuilding my grandfathers Farmall 200. So thank you already.
The problem is as the title states. If you pull it by hand it fires right up, but the starter will just crank and crank. I can also assure that it is engaging the flywheel just fine.
At this point everything but the distributor base has been replaced. Not to bore you, but that means: voltage regulator, alternator, starter, points, plugs, wires, coil, pistons, bearings, carb rebuild, starter switch, water pump, belts, valves, springs, and a full rewire to 10ga wire along with checking all switches and gauges.
Now the engine has been re-sized to 219ci if i remember correctly and the carb was jetted to match this using an exhaust sniffer. It never needs to be choked. When it runs it runs strong. It is also a 6v positive ground if that matters.
Like I said, I just can't get it to start with the starter. If it is warmed up, I can sometimes get it with the starter by pulling the switch for 1 single stroke on 1 cylinder (like a 1/2 second pull) and then jam the switch shut and it will fire. This leads me to think the starter is moving too slowly and preventing the engine from running up, but I have never heard of this and the solenoid operates fine on the starter.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
