See the link in the "Top Secret File" post located at the top of this forum. It has the steps to go through when an outboard has been sitting.

remove spark plugs, place motor with spark plug holes up, put 1/2 ounce of marvel mystery oil in each hole, let sit overnite. in the morning turn the flywheel several revolutions, it should be smooth and easy to turn. now turn motor over and drain out excess oil. replace all fuel lines before running. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=299680
