Looks like a 6 volt starter (has a black label, 12 volts have red labels) equipped with a 12 volt switch (has the stud on the side to bypass the ballast resistor while the starter is engaged). For further identification info on 6v vs. 12v starters and their companion flywheels see THIS. EDIT: Ooops I just noticed Kevin already pointed you there.
I don't know of a spec for end play, but maybe someone left out one or both 7.2820 washers shown in the attachment.
