Ah, English, that most undefined and flexible of languages. I never know what someone means when they say "it won't turn over" -- sometimes that means it won't crank, sometimes it means it won't stay running, and sometimes it means it cranks but won't even sputter. Remote diagnosis is sorta like getting a patient to explain to the doctor what is wrong -- a vauge sort of business at times!

I always took "It won't turn over" as it won't kick myself. Always have. Always will . I usually say it won't crank if it won't crank But then again, different people, and also different locations, can change useage of vocabulary.
