Sounds like the injection pump is worn out. Pour water over the pump when it won't start to confirm this.

If you are guessing a starter. Does that mean when its warmed up the engine wont crank. If so it could be the starter.
If it cranks and wont start then I would do what Wannadiesel said.

Ah, then it's the starter contacts most likely.
