    It seems to be locked up. It won’t pull with the rope, and you can’t turn the prop in forward or reverse.

    Could try and pull the lower unit and then see if the motor turns over, it will determine if it is the power head or the lower unit.

    I got it to turn over today. Is there anything that I should do before I try to crank it?

    Check for spark at the plug. That old motor uses points. If no spark check the condition of them. Gap should be .020
