Old has good idea. Take plugs out, squirt a little oil in, roll the engine over a few times with plugs out, and then put plugs back in. This will lube up the cylinder walls and get some oil on those dry rings. Also, I would drain the old gas out and add new. Check all fluids, and you will most likely have to charge battery. Do a spark test right off the bat, no need to fight trying to start it if you don't have spark. You only have to worry about things breaking when the water freezes, not when the ice thaws. By all means, pull the plug and drain that water out of the rear end. If it has sat, the water will be at the bottom with the oil on top of it. Drain atleast untill pure oil comes out. Those rear ends were natorious for getteing water in them through the bolt holes in the plateform, water stands in the indentions and slowly leaks around the bolts when setting outside in the rain. You may chose to drain it all out and add new oil. Might be a good idea to completely change all fluids. Not only because of the fact that it has sat for 2 years but also because you don't know when the last time they were changed before that.
