Hi Fred...the first thing I would check is if it is free to turn over with a crank or a Johnson bar and socket on the crankshaft. If it moves then great. Change the oil and keep cranking it so hopefully the oil pump or the splash system with coat the inside of the motor. Put some gas down the carb and stand back lol. Good luck. You may land up with a large muscular arm on the one side though lol. If the starter is still good then use it but remember it's a 6 volt system.
