No. I checked it. It's fine. Fully lubed.

I'm a little confused, and believe you have a bad switch.

No. The motor does not function. It is getting power to the motor. The switch is fine. The motor itself has continuity, however it's not rotating. Thus the motor isn't functioning. I believe it's a fubared brush. It has a portion of the brush that has what appears to be a location where either an arc or spark created a gap so it's not contacting the appropriate slip rings. I'll take it out and play with it a little more but I'm trying to focus on a few tests I have coming up as well as rebuilding an FD alternator.
