This motor has 3 coils not 2 like the previous. So a new set of issues unfortunately.

As stated earlier the coils are wound in the same direction, the magnets are not too far away and the brushes swap over at the correct time. I thought possibly friction could be the answer however after checking with my multimeter, the voltage through the commutator was only 0.3 volts when using...

Just got it working thanks to Scott above 👏, proper stator connection and I used 12volts power supply. Made it move but still some improvements to make!

I held a pair of permanent magnets around the coils where they would be held normally, would that have had the same effect as a stator?

Possible problems that ive already hopefully solved: .The commutator timings which previously prevented the motor from turning .The coils are both wrapped in the same direction, continuously wound turns .short circuits due to the brushes(Paper clips in this case) touching both split rings...
