I think you're okay, Tom. The cracked crankcase problem had occurred for some (most?) when ya get a huge backfire at the time of starting. In your case it sounds more like a low battery. Have you put a voltmeter on the battery just to see?

Meanwhile, here's a long thread on the topic of cracked cases.
