Any fogger would be gone after that long of a period. Squirt some WD 40 in each cylinder. The most important thing is that all cylinders are with 10% of each in comp. numbers. You will have to rebuild the carbs anyway, which is no big deal. Also check the oil in the gearcase too. Here is something I just learned. A friend picked up an old Evinrude `56 from upstate NY, I thought he new something about outboards. when he dropped it by my house in Fl. the first thing i did almost unconsciously was spin the prop. It wouldn`t budge. I made sure it was in nuetral, and it still wouldn`t budge. I removed the fill and vent screws, and nothing. When i took the gearcase apart I found the gears were just a ball of rust. Just something easy to check, but expensive to fix.
