Clean and lube the starter parts (all the gears and the shaft of the motor) 3-in-1 would make a good lube.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Just cause its new doesnt mean its fully charged.

This is true. Hook it up to a small motorcycle battery charger if you have one and let it trickle for a few hours.
