Just acquired a Tracker (by Mercury Marine) 9.9EL that seems frozen or stuck. Will not pull start. I checked the neutral safety and it isn't the problem. I even removed both spark plugs and tried but it won't turn over at all. Should I spray some oil in the cylinders and let it sit a while then try?

Should have mentioned this outboard has been sitting indoors for 4-5 years without being touched. I'm hoping the piston rings are just stuck and will free up with some oil in the cylinders...any other ideas?
