Like I said in post 10 so you would not damage starter but oh well. Now squirt a good oz of liquid wrench in both spark plug holes. let it sit a good 24 hours. Then an oz of oil in each. Now if you do not have an axle, remove chain and turn sprocket with a strap wrench or whatever you can get a hold of it. (all the while with plugs out)
I assume your trying to save bucks. As long as it's not too rusty it will come back. I would consider worst case overhaul but thats' just me , you can get it running as is.

I have 2 questions....
1. can I convert the points to EI and
2. Is it normal for the front wheel to be 19 and the rear 16?

Yes, Sporties come with a 19" or 21" front wheel and a 16" rear.
