1. maybe your spinner is 2 big!
2.Maybe your not pushing the starter into the spinner hard enough!
3.Maybe your putting the prop right on the point of compression which is making the prop not able to build the momentum to get over the compression in this case you should put the prop right befor compression so it has room from the end of compression and the beginning of compression again if it's confusing maybe I will try to make it less confusing later because it's 2:06 am right now 
I understand perfectly, but as I said in previous posts, even when I start the prop at the bottom of the stroke, ( where there is very little friction) when it gets to the top of the stroke the prop stops dead. I think my problem is that I have a very tight ABN engine, and from what I've read on these forums, that's not a bad thing to have.
