My starter often only spins and doesn't engage

I had my Delco starter motor rebuilt and just installed a new solenoid, but I still have this problem. It takes 2 or 3 tries to get the starter to engage. Anyone have any ideas?

Tenders, you're right. I probably didn't run it enough to get stabil through the lines. How do you hook a hose to that metal line between the pump and carb? And what is Seafoam?
