Flathead Starter Whine

Have a fresh flathead probably 50 miles on it so far... but everytime I go to crank it it cranks slow and a high whine comes from the starter. Everything from the Optima, cables, starter is new or rebuilt. I am working with a 6 volt system. Anyone else have his issue and how did you resolve it.
Many thanks for the help.

Take the starter to who ever rebuilt it, or at least call him and report what it is doing. Keep us posted.
