Try a good shot of Marvel Mystery Oil down each cylinder. Try and get some on the valve stems if you can. Let it sit for a week or at least overnight.

Then give it a fresh shot or a squirt of motor oil and turn the engine over by hand, with the spark plugs out.

If you can turn it one complete turn without forcing, try the starter. Cover the plug holes with rags the oil will fly out.

Turn it over until the oil pressure comes up. Check there is oil in the crankcase.

If the engine turns over and there is oil pressure, check if there is spark. Clean the white fur off the points. Put the plugs back in give it a shot of gas and cross your fingers, it might even start.
