Default 149 hard to start

I may have posted about this before but I can't remember and can not find the old post if there is one. I apologize if I have. Still need help.

The engine will start OK, as long as it has a little crank movement before the compression hits. If the crank is sitting at the compression point, the starter will not roll it past the compression point. Replaced s/g with the one on my work 149. Same thing. Pulled the engine and removed the drive shaft and same thing. Checked battery voltage and it was 12.75. Checked voltage at starter when turning over and it was 11.73. New battery, wiring harness and pos. & neg. cables. Rechecked all grounds and getting good ground, battery to frame and s/g to frame. Any and all help appreciated. Have a great day.
Bob
