Hi John
I had exactly the same problem with my RN starter, no amount of urging would get it to spin even on the bench. I carefully dismantled it and found the bushes on the ends at the armature were seized. A simple clean and lube solved the problem. I took the opportunity to clean the brushes etc whilst it was apart. Woke like a charm now.
