Default 1250 Starter issue Update

O.K. I took the starter off and removed the bendix and cleaned and graphited it and it seems to move in and out freely. On the bench when I put 12v to it the Bendix and gear shoot out for about 1/2 second and then go back down. Is that what it is supposed to do? When I put it back in the mower, I thought I would be all set, but I get the same thing. The bendix shoots out a little, but the flywheel doesn't spin (it actually turns about 1/8" each time I turn the starter. What should I do next?
Should the Bendix be kicked out the whole time I have 12V to it?
If so, what might I need to do to make it so?
Thanks,
Josh
