Don't forget that just because something is new that doesn't mean it's
good.  This is especially true for something that's rebuilt.

Not long ago, I bought a rebuilt alternator (lifetime guarantee) from a
FLAPS while traveling.  It allowed me to finish the trip but also died
shortly after getting home.  I replaced it under the guarantee and the
2nd one seems to be doing ok.

Your starter can still be suspect.
