<VV> Starter with bad spot on armature?

[Frank DuVal]

First, check the brushes. This is usually a case of worn brushes. Easy 
to change. And grease the bearings (bushings) while in there.

This comment assumes the solenoid is pulling in every attempt to start 
but the armature does not turn.

I tried it a few more times, and it stopped again. Is there a bad spot on the armature? I would not think it was in the field coils because it does work sometime. Any ideas?
