These early v6 merc engines are known to suffer with cranking issues.The problem occurs when the drive dog on the starter does not fully engage on the ring gear teeth so the eis crank system shuts down.I would suggest coat the ring gear teeth with some lithium grease and re-try.Also check the battery for correct type and condition.hth
