to finally get it started, i have to push start it. which is getting old real quick.

but after i push start it once, it will crank the rest of the day.

thats odd, if you push start and it works fine then the ignition /fuel system sounds like it is working fine.

Are you sure ther starter is actually engaing the flywheel? If the bendix gear is shot, the starter motor itself will spin and you will hear it, but the gear does'nt come out to engage the flywheel. Nex time it happens, have someone standing looking at your engine, see if all the belts on the engine move while cranking...
