there are several possible causes for this. Possibly need a new fuel pump, when the vehicle sits the fuel pressure drops because it drains back to the tank through the pump causing the carburetor to be empty. Check at home when it doesn't start by removing the fuel line - there should be pressure there with the engine OFF. BE CAREFUL OF FUEL SPILLING ON A HOT SPOT ON THE ENGINE AND CAUSING A FIRE!! use a rag to catch the fuel and have someone nearby with a DRY chemical extinguisher if you don't have much experience with this kind of thing. If this doesn't happen when the vehicle has been sitting overnight, then it is possibly fuel leaking from the carburetor that vaporizes in the intake manifold (vapor lock), causing the engine to actually be flooded. Also in rare cases the carb gets too hot and vaporizes all the fuel in the carb bowl. (Starter fluid will ignite just from compressing it in the cylinder causing the engine to clear the block) Even if the carb has been rebuilt, was it done correctly & adjusted correctly?, were the jets replaced? was the float valve replaced?

Try changing the ignition switch located on the steering column
Wrong starter, wrong fly-wheel, Bad starter drive, worn fly-wheel. Starter may need to be shimed.
Most good auto parts stores will test them for you if you bring them in. Most of the time it's the "starter drive" that is bad and not the whole starter. The drive is a very inexpensive part but you need some ability to install it. If you're going for a new starter, get a "rebuilt" one. Same quality and alot cheaper.
Starter spins but doesn't turn engine? Probably the starter drive. The starter drive is part of the starter and can be replaced if the rest of the starter is still healthy. If your not to handy with wrenches you may want to replace the whole starter with a rebuilt one. Worst case, the flywheel ring gear is bad in which case the transmission would have to come out for replacement of ring gear.
