Thanks! Hopefully it won't take too much to get it going but if the carb is any indication of the health of the rest of the bike I'm gonna have to drop the motor and split the cases for a full rebuild/inspection. Tires are definitely shot too but that's a non issue really.
So I got the head off and the cylinder was just full of sludge. The moisture in the picture was the penetrating oil I sprayed in earlier. I wiped out the sludge best I could and managed to free the crank by moving the entire cylinder up using screwdrivers as levers. I'm gonna let the piston soak overnight at least before I do anything drastic like start hammering on it
