I would just put a little oil in the cylinders - not sure about seafoam for lubricating - and turn it over manually first. I would then just get a tank and battery and see if it fires up, no harm in that, those Rudes are hard to kill. See what happens and take it from there.

...I wouldn't run it more than a few seconds...I guarantee any motor that has sat that long has remanants of what used to be fuel blocking the needle and seat and caked in the bowls...Carbon isn't gonna be as much gummy as hard and charcoallike at this point on the inside of the block... Almost any older carbed 2 stroke needs all of the circuits(high,mid,low) to get proper lubrication...The initial starting of an older motor is the most important, thats when they can score or hang a ring easiest... It's probably not gonna want to start up and when it does it's gonna probably rev to Holy Hell for a few seconds, especialy if a can of ether is in your hand(try a spray bottle of fuel)...lol...Good news is those carbs are easy....I can walk you you through taking the carbs apart if you need...Also just trash the screen filter on the motor and get a new one before you do the carbs.... I mentioned Seafoam because you can go right to Napa or Autozone, Advance and get the spray of Seafoam Deep Creep for down the carbs and in the cylinders and get the can of Seafoam for the fuel...plus it works great, I could'nt tell you how many sinkers and sitters I have brought back throughout the years with it...There's other very good stuff just never seen better than Seafoam, ...Start it to see if it fires after its been lubricated and hand cranked a half dozen times but not much more... Once you get it running decent then you should monitor a couple little things....no big deal
