Yer that does sound like it has rusted the bores on the open cylinders!
It depends on how much you like the engine! if you like it, pull the barrels and fix it right
Iif you hate it, crank the bastard over with the pulgs out untill she winds over, plugs back in and hope for the best! LOL

you could try over filling it with oil.....as in put like 3.5 litres in it and let it sit for a while. then everyday go out and try turning it over.
even if u cant get it to go all the way just keep rocking it....do this for a few days/weeks and see if it will turn over for you after a while.
squirt some down the plug holes too.
ive done this. it works
