I bought a similar starter motor from Tony some years ago on a 'not tested, bought as seen' basis. When I go it home and tested it clamped in the vice it turned OK but not well even on 12v. Strip down, clean it all up particularly the commutator and fit a new set of brushes and it was back to where it should be. It's been starting my Trials Car without problem for the last 10 years or so.
That you were able to test yours as you did with it laying on the floor says there's something wrong with it. If it was working properly and you'd tested it this way you'd understand what violent acceleration was!!
