and if the oil is in fact squirting or spraying out, isnt there a chance that the engine will seize if i turn it on?

Probably 2 bolts near the front of the tank which screw into threaded inserts in the frame (or something very close to that) and very likely 2 bolts which screw into the mid-frame near the battery box. Look for the threaded inserts under or just in front of the seat area.
Make sure you connect your fuel line and fuel level sensor wires before you bolt it down. Do you know where your fuel lines go into the carbs? (silver thingy's)

There's no guarantee it will start. I want to see if it will "turn over" (the crank and pistons will actually move.) If it's not seized, and if it's really spraying oil out the intakes of the carbs, we'll take it from there. When you try to start it, don't hang on the starter button and crank it to pieces. Give it a "1-2" count and let off.

well i went over today with some gas and a couple buckets. emptied wat little was in the carbs. but the guy wasnt home so i couldnt get the key to attempt to start it. probably gonna go over there again tomorrow. question though. i was gonna move it outside in case if i did get it going and oil did spray, it wouldnt be in this guys garage, but i couldnt turn the front wheel, it was locked. is the front wheel locked with no key in the ignition?

when i go over there 2marrow, im gonna get the gas tank on and get the key. and no jeff i have no idea where the fuel lines go into the carbs. if u could, take one of the pictures and make arrows or circles to help better show me exactly where they go

I dunno, Matt; if this guy is the one who screwed it up, might be a nice touch to blow oil all over his garage. (I would!)
Thanks for the diagrams, Drag.
