Does it turn over every time? Yes, fuel system. No, could be electrical.

So it doesn't turn over at all? Could be the contacts within the starter itself hitting a dead spot...

It could be the starter contacts which is a fairly simple fix.

Here is a borrowed pic of the neutral safety switch. Location is just above the clutch peddle. I would also look at the starter contacts first.
