Sounds to me like the compression is too high for the old kent starter and you'll need to go to a high torque starter

Are you 100% timing is correct. I'd be thinking timing. A standard starter should still turn it over ok, ie not as bad as you describe unless compression is that high it wont run on pump fuel.
