I rescued a KR-1s from where it had been stood in a garden for 12 years. Crank seals were fine, and are still fine now, another 3 years and a few hundred miles later.
I should add, the engine had a full rebuild by Graham File just before it was abandoned in the garden, which doubtless helped, but even so, pretty impressive.
What I did was popped the barrels off to have a look, pistons and bores looked ok. You can also get a limited view of the crank- there was no visible rust so I doused it all in 2 stroke oil, stuck the barrels back on. and kicked it over- started 2nd prod

Need Break down cover? P.m. me.
