after standing that long you might find some of the valves stuck open and some of the piston rings stuck.
take the top cover off and check the valve clearances first .
drop a bit of light oil down the bores as well

It certainly won't be "no oil in the tappets" as these are not hydraulic tappets.
Good luck with finding the cause.
