It takes current to operate the starter, which pulls down battery VOLTAGE making the spark from a defective ignition system too weak to light off the charge in the cylinders.
When you release the starter button, battery voltage rises, and the engine is still turning over (on it"s way to coasting to a stop) and fires from the now "hotter" spark.
You may have a weak ("fried") coil, damaged from TOO LITTLE primary resistance in the primary circuit and/or from the key being left on with the engine stalled, or, on the other hand, the coil may be OK, and there is TOO MUCH resistance in the primary circuit, casing low primary current/low spark VOLTAGE.
There are/have been coils with various primary resistances on the market and each individual doing a 12Volt conversion may opt for a slightly different way of doing things!
This makes for a lot of FUN when a later owner has problems.
You MAY have to start over with a new coil and appropriate primary resistance. here has been enough written about this to fill a book, over at the "N"-specific Board. You may want to surf over there.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
