Look at Mumbles before and after pictures ti see what everything should look like after a servicing. Basically a service is just a clean up and a little lub on the shafts/bushings. Main thing is to get the commuter (brass thing in second photo) clean and the junk out of the grooves.
To make sure wiring is not the issue, you could run the battery leads direct to the starter motor and see if it spins properly now. Connect the negative lead direct to a starter mounting bolt, and then touch the positive to the terminal on the side of the starter. Be careful not to allow the battery leads to touch each other or for the positive to touch anything but the terminal
