Fuel system issue is definitely a possibility and should be investigated.
As for the starter clutch, the early models had issues starting as the combination of original starter clutch and the decompression setup didn't turn the engine over very well (more of a starter gearing issue than the actual clutch, but they came as a unit). I've seen several that had starting issues due to this starter arrangement. With the new style starter clutch, they spin over like a DRZ400 and start much more consistant, and are easier on batteries. In this case though, he likely has the updated parts as the trouble ones I saw were on original 2003 models.
