Sounds like it might be too much initial timing for the starter to turn over. 
Here is a very good article on setting the ignition. Hope this help you out.

  Thanks to all that replied. problem was  a bad connection that joined the 2 
piece brake line running to the rear that was drawing in air. now fixed. I also 
Installed an MSD 6AL ignition and   I have what may sound like a silly question 
( I'm gettin a little punchie) long hrs. in garage. Q. If  I spin the motor to 
10 Deg.BTDC that will be on the compression stroke for me to set the rotor to 
#1 cylinder ? I'm having a hard time getting to kick over. thanks again, Jimmy
