Default 1250 starter spinning flywheel not turning

I had a bad day yesterday, went out started the 1604 that died (seperate post).
Started the 1250 for the season first time. Everything fine for the first 3 times I started it, then I came to a stop on a slight side hill, tried to restart it and just get a hum of the starter spinning, but not engaging the flywheel.
I took the starter off and applied 12V to it and it spins, the gears look O.K. What is the thing that looks like a small rubber like cylinder on the end that I can pull out supposed to do (if anything)?
Thanks for your help.
Not sure why the starter would not engage and turn the flywheel.
