That makes zero sense to me.

Please explain. Cranking IS turning over. Is the engine rolling over, but not firing?

Did you tighten the nut too tight on the starter drive clutch?

Do you mean the starter turns the motor over but the motor won't fire up?

If it's turning over, its not your battery. Dead battery means NOTHING happens ;-)
