Hard to crank start

Bought a 9n and included with it was the old hand crank. It also has the electric starter and starts easily with that. The only way I can get it started with the hand crank is to give it a squirt of starting fluid first. Engine has had complete tune up and carburator rebuild, and like I said starts easily with the electric starter. Any suggestions on how I might have some success starting this with the crank without starting fluid? Thanks!
