If it turns over, then I'd just whack some petrol in it, perhaps with an extra dosh of 2 stroke for good measure, and try to fire it up. If it doesn't turn over, spray CRC down the plug holes and try it in the morning. It might need anything from new spark plugs to a full strip-down and rebuild - little point trying to pre-guess. The impeller is probably rooted, so if it starts but doesn't pump water in a few seconds, turn it off.Even if it does run and pump water, put a new impeller in #1 position on your parts list.

I would let some crc soak down the spark plug holes, leave it over night preferably a day or 2. With re spraying it again later on.Then wind it over by hand to clean off any surface rust etc. Dump all the old fuel and get fresh stuff, put some new plugs in it. Standard NGK copper plugs are not that expensive and see what happens.

best advise and i would change the impellor before starting it as it will either been buggered or could bind to wall and not a hard job

you wont need the impeller for 40 secounds , by that time you know if it runs right or not. dont give it to mutch throttle as it was parked for that long and if its mint it will start kicking in the barrel when you give it a quick rev you also see if the impellor works when water squirts out once it runs make sure the pickup is submergedand its not in gear so prop wont rotate

I woud'nt worry about the impeller until I know the engine is worth fixing or not. A short burst start up will not fry it if it does start, but yes not a hard job to do.

Yes it does,the impeller will be stuck to the housing,we are working on outboard at mo,if the leg securing bolts have not been off for awhile good luck !we had too hacksaw last bolt through and drill bolt out,make sure you get any bits of old impeller out of intake as well!

yea well if no water comes out then he know the impeller is a goner . if he pulled the cord a few times then a stuck impeller would have stripped allready ps my engine squirted water fine

Bewarethey corrode out between exaust & water galleryif left long time. Centrestud is SS whichcauses electrolisis with the cast alloyaround the stud & leaks water in to engine .If it doesnt turn overon starterprobably stuffed . either way pull manifold off beforeusing . Common on oldsuzukis
