Compression and leakdown test if you can. Don't just start it up. That oil in there is probabally 10 years old. Do make sure it turns over, and if you can have them change the oil. Stick a battery in it and make sure all the electronics work like they should. Check the wiring and make sure that it hasn't been cut or spliced anywhere. Thats about it. Don't get too excited and buy a POS. I did, and now I'm going to be pulling my motor back out in 2 weeks to replace the rings.
