If you just replaced the starter, the first thing that comes to mind is bad electrical connections. Recheck that first. Check both the positive connection at the starter and check for a good ground path as well.
Second thing is check the battery - that's a classic symptom of weak or dead battery.
Third thing is a potential bad starter solenoid.
And last and least likely is that you received a defective replacement starter. You can pull it and bench test by using jumper cables.
Good luck. Let us know what solves it.
