A silly question but you sure it wasn't in
gear.
Never had a froze engine but a farmer around
here said that 1/2 cup of kerosene in each
cylinder left 2 week then hand cranked may work.
That WD stuff isn't strong enough for the
job in my opinion. Most of it evaporates anyway.
I heard that when this happens the cyclinder
walls get scored and there is a possibility that
the oil ring won't turn in it's groove. But 8 years in a covered location may not be all that
bad. As long as water wasn't getting in the exhaust system I think you'll be OK.
A guy I bought my spreader from had a 333 in
his shed and he started his after 10 years.
Drain the kerosene out of the pan if you get
it going and change the oil and filter.
I'm sure I saw some info on this board regards this subject. Surf around.
Good luck.
