Try retarding the timing a few degrees with octane selector. Feel all
connections for heat when cranking. Clean or replace any that get hot. Also
make sure the ground is good especially if you just painted frame. Engine
will loosen up after it is run. I've seen a starter use so much current that
there is not enough voltage left for a good spark. Truck fires up as soon as
i release starter.
