89 Si no start

I just bought a 89 Si that has a no start problem.

If you push start it, runs great! Once the engine is warm, the car will start with the key just fine. If the car sits over night, no start. I have full battery power, but no crank or movement from the starter.

I'm guessing bad starter. Anyone else ever have similar problem?

Thanks in advance.

When it's cold and wont crank, put power to the spade terminal on the starter (of course car in neutral) and see if that spins the starter. If it does it means there's a problem in the circuitry between the ignition switch and the starter.
