It appears to be wired correctly, although I can’t see everything from the one picture. Should run, as it doesn’t look dirty or likely to be worn out.
Could be a hung brush. The brushes are under the springs on each side. Try checking to make sure the springs are pressing the brushes against the commutator. Try spinning the shaft to help it get going, perhaps the brushes aren’t seated (broken in).
The battery you are using needs to have enough current capability to get it going, that might be an issue.
The only information I got was from another forum, so I'm pretty sure it's a Trinity Speed Spec. When taken apart (as depicted in the picture) everything seems to be good. Nothing bent, or broken, or missing. The springs you mentioned are only on 1 side. I don't know if that means anything, but the other side doesn't have a spring. I'd also like to know what kind of pinion I need to get. As I have no other information about this motor, I don't know where to start.
