It could be flooding. When you wait a while and manage to start it, does it smoke at all?

If you have a good rebuilder in your area take your original starter to them and see if they have one ready or else they can rebuild yours, it will probably be cheaper then buying a shitty re-man from Pep Boys.

Those rebuilds at Pep Boys and places like that are GARBAGE.
