No Joe, it should not start with a jolt or kick when fitted to the car, neither should it start slowly and build-up speed, but perhaps you should post a sound recording so that we can hear what you mean.

Check all electrical connections including your soldered braid (you did solder them didn't you?). Also, as Vitesse says and with the help of Arctic's picture, look carefully at the condition of the commutator. If the fan was left for a long period after it first gave trouble and a brush wore so badly that its spring popped out of the holder and contacted the commutator, you will have irreparable damage.
