Hi John - without doubt you need to check it off the car.
If it spins it should do so with a lot of power.
I put them on the floor to test with my foot on the body to hold, when it first turns it should try to escape your foot.
If it does not do that then it has not got enough power and needs further investigation.
The pinion can easily jam I would check it carefully for cleanliness and of course it must not have oil or grease on it.
Just one little bit of grit or even grease can cause it to jamb.
You can bend the spring to adjust, it only needs to lightly grip the pinion.
I know this sounds a bit crude but I hope you find it useful.
