Pull the head and cylinder. You may need only a top end rebuild. Hopefully the bottom end is ok, but look for anything that has vertical play, or is loose and look for pitting or rust on the lower rod bearing and crank pin. If an engine was left to sit for 10 years and is seized it because it wasn’t put away properly, i.e the last guy to use it didn’t dump a bunch of 2 stroke oil into the engine and turn it over every once in a while, or plug off the exhaust pipe. You may get lucky and be able to just hone the cylinder and change the rings, but I don’t like your odds with Northern moisture conditions. Post photos of what you find.
