Are you sure the brushes were making contact on the comm?

First are you sure you can adjust your timing? most 19t are fixed timing endbells, although there are some that you can adjust. Changing timing is not going to help a contact problem, an electric motor is a simple device. If it's not moving there isn't enough current to overcome the magnetic field of the can, so even if it's making contact it's not making enough, or something is preventing the power from getting from the lead to the comm. Try using a section of a dead brush (with the shunt removed) and put it behind your brush and the spring, this will give more tension to the brush and allow you to run it smaller. Some brush hoods also are not slotted enough on the spring side to allow the spring to push on the brush past a certain point.

24 degrees is standard timing for stock motors but I usually set 19t or mods between 12 and 15 degrees advanced. Any more than that gets the motor hot too quickly and performance degrades when the brushes burn. You can tell if its too hot because the brushes turn blue and get brittle. They'll chip or chunk apart. They also scrape the comm badly at that point because the lubricant is burnt out of them.

I agree with Xray, there's probably not enough brush left for the spring to push against the comm. the slots in the side where the spring goes through aren't always cut all the way so the spring hits the stop when the brush is 1/2 gone. For bashing you can maybe get by with 1/2 brush but for racing I throw the brushes away when 25% is worn off so the spring pressure is consistent. The brush positive almost always wears faster than the negative.
