After turning it over and it not starting, have you tried to take out the farthest fuse in your fuse box? (for me its red, dont know about urs). Try starting it again, then put the fuse back in and should work....If not im gonna say your right and its ur starter.

if its turning over, why would you think its a bad starter?? Is it turning over slowly? Its most likely flooded. Try taking the spark plugs out, turn it over without the egi fuse to clear out all the gas. then add 2 stroke oil to the plug holes to help build compression. Replace with new plugs, replace fuse and try to start like normal. you may have to give some throttle on start. repeat if it doesnt start
