...ask him when he had it running last and how it ran. Then ask him to take you for a ride to see how it performs. If you can't do that, see if you can hook up muffs to it to start it. Take a compression tester with you and test each cylinder, anything over 100psi on each cyl should be OK and the readings should be within 15% of each other. At the very least, put a wrench on the flywheel nut and see if engine turns. I hope it all works out and you get years and years of enjoyment of of your new rig.

+1 ^^^^

If you can't hear it run or put it on the water then i'd steer clear... Usually means paperweight! and at that price it better be an important piece of paper!
