If someone said to me the engine won't crank, I'm taking that as it's dead. as in the starter motor does not respond when turning key. The engine cranks but won't start. that's telling me starter motor is engaged, flywheel is turning, no combustion.
In my view an engine has to be cranked in order for it to start. If it starts, it then should run. As opposed to starting and dying. more
Now the term "to crank" really means the crank shaft is being rotated. Technically, the crank shaft is being turned so as to get the motor started so that it will then run. Some use the term "turning over" for cranking but I try to not use that term.
a few weeks back I read a complaint of "it starts, but it won't crank".

Common symptoms of trouble include a lack of oil transfer, overfilling of the main tank, and oil leaks while the outboard is tilted. Most of the time, these problems are due to operator error and are not the components fault. [links]
All decisions about transferring oil (as well as sounding any alarms) are made by the electronic oil-control unit. On V-4 and older V-6 outboards, it consists of an external black box with a momentary toggle switch. In later V-6 models, Yamaha incorporated the switch and electronics into the CDI unit.
When additional oil is added to the boats remote tank, the float rises above SW B, which allows the controller to turn off the yellow warning LCD. If the outboard is running, the electric pump begins to transfer oil to the engine until the main tanks full switch (SW 1) shuts it off.
Depending on your outboards model year, various methods are used to prevent oil from transferring when the outboard is tilted up. On models with a separate oil-control module, an internal mercury switch will not allow the electric pump to energize if the outboard is tilted above 30 degrees. The trim sender senses the tilt angle to prevent the oil transfer on V-6s from 1990 through 1995. Starting in 1996, new electronics in the controller unit keep the pump from operating if the engine is not running. Do not forget to check these items when troubleshooting a \"no oil transfer\" situation. here
Located in the boat, the remote tank holds oil that is pumped to the powerhead as the engine demands. Mounted in a recess on the side of the tank, the electric oil pump receives the lubricant through a filter element and transfers it to the main tank, which is located on the powerhead. A float activates a switch (SW inside the reservoir when approximately 1-1/2 quarts remain. The switch signals the oil-controller to turn on the yellow warning LCD on the tachometer, and to stop the transfer of oil to the outboards main tank.
Inside the main tank, three float-activated switches inform the control unit when the tank is full, when to transfer more oil, and when to sound the alarm if the level drops too low. here
Step Eight: Insert the kill switch into the hole that is in the console from the rear. [links]
Step Nine: Secure the cut-up wires with the wire ties and reconnect the negative battery cable.
- Crimp the connector shut with pliers. here
- Wire does not have to be stripped. here
- Remove console cover (if there is one) by removing the screws with a screwdriver.
- Use the remaining end of the ignition wire and the and the remaining kill switch wire. [links]
