I would call it a "starting issue"...not a "Starter issue"!
To go along with the good info from 142g and Derek, I would just like to add that compression of an engine cannot change on its own ...and randomly "...setting it advanced and retard and neither helped", is no troubleshooting technique...
I might take your comment of "it has too much compression" to be your description of the symptom of ignition occurring while the pistons are coming up on compression...and this could be a combination of slow cranking where it is more noticeable (low V at Starter - for all the well known reasons...assure reasonable cranking speed with >9-10V, measured at Starter, applied), or because Timing is truly early (check and reset basic Timing setting and also verify Cent Adv is not bound up and free to return to the base setting)...after that, the mixture enrichening necessary for a cold-start are also well-understood...
Good Hunting!
