just joined the forum after arriving home with the above mentioned motor...it's frozen...estimated cost $9.60 in gas and oil for the trip to Portland...would I consider this a parts motor and continue to look for one that's running?
Welcome to the forum
Set the motor with plugs pointing up and spray/pour some penetrating oil in the cylinders. Let set a few days and see if it frees up. Sometimes on old motors that haven't been run for awhile, the rings stick. Penetrating oil may solve the problem.
