Well, from what YOU'VE been told, it was just left in the rain. Getting wet will not kill the motor as mentioned, especially with you flushing the system.
**We don't IF that's all that was done to the engine.
I suspect your going to have to do some digging. Perhaps the flywheel key way SHEARED, throwing off timing. You can get a general idea after pulling the main cover over, feeling for TDC (and using a screw driver to see TDC with the piston. Magnets should be super close to the magneto then..
Check all wiring to the coil/ kill switch.
Make sure the combustion chamber is dry (and there IS spark-plug isn't fouled) before cranking over. Then after pulling several times, (making sure the choke works), the spark plug is damp.
