it has seen water in 2 years
the lower gear oil been changed, it has low compression of on all four cylinders.
and put new plug in the engine runs, new carb float.

Hang it on a boat. ;)

But seriously folks...
You should put in a new water pump impeller
I'd run double oil the first tank, or at least 1.5x

A new water pump is highly recommended when you don't know the condition of the existing pump.
