You can many times do this by putting pressure on the fan belt and rotating the fan which will also move the crank. If that works it could be you have a few bad teeth on the flywheel. The other possibility is that there is not quite enough power to engage it. I would ensure a good batter and fully charged with good cables and a good ground.
I am located north of Bellingham so not so far away.
Let me know if either if these help.

the lever pushes drive gear into flywheel before it reaches the button, What motor are you working on?
