evinrude 25HP motor not started for 4 years?

This is easy.------Remove spark plugs.-----Lay motor down with carburetor facing the sky.------Pour 1 or 2 ounces of oil into the carburetor.---Pull starter cord or turn flywheel about 10 turns.----Motor is now ready to be started with no fear of internal damage !

previously I read to pour down the cylinder walls and let sit a few days. so I'm confussed when you say pour oil in carb?

I can't exactly point the carb to the sky I can tilt to bow up to get a little angle up on the carb.

do you want me to remove the spark plugs so they won't get oil fouled? and pouring oil in the carb then rotating engine will circulate the oil thoughout the engine. how long should it soak?

so since the engine rotates there's no need to pour oil in the cylinders?

please excuse my noobness.

The lubrication of 2 stroke engines is not well understood.----Just follow those instructions.---Sparkplugs are taken out so you can easily turn the motor.
