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?

Any particular solvents you'd recommend for cleaning it? The carb was new 6 months ago. Am I going to need a rebuild kit? What if I soak the whole carb in some sort of solvent?

Update. I just noticed a thin layer of white chalky crud on the inside of the drain plug. Can I take it apart and clean it or am I wasting my time?

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?
