Except if a port was open and the cranks been exposed for 10yrs ie bottom end is done and crank needs rebuilding. In any case, have a look, assess the damage and the information might actually be a selling point for a serious buyer, well depends doesnt it :lol:

If you're lucky it's just the rings gummed or corroded onto the bores, try the soak in WD40 trick as mentioned first then a quick light hone and new rings, carbs will also be gummed up so will need to be stripped and cleaned properly, shouldn't be too bad if it was running fine before being parked up
