Once back together and I touch the cable to the positive of a battery it should spin correct? Because it isn’t 😭

[TwoTired]

Um, you know you need two connections, right? The motor case to batt neg, and the big cable to batt pos.

Can you measure the length of the bolts you need?
With your starter assembled, measure the length needed.
I have a line on a box of used starter motors.
Mght be able to get what you need.  But, none of the starters are marked where they come from.

Cheers,
