My brother asked me to get his 96 GTX running. I drained the old gas, replaced the battery and the spark plugs. I tried to fire the engine it spun over twice and stopped. Pulled the plugs and spun the engine over and got a bath in 2 stroke oil. Any suggestions on what the problem is.

From what you saying, sounds like the rotary valve seals on the crank are bad. The seals keep the oil from entering the combustion chamber, allowing the oil from the injector to lube the rotary shaft of the rotary valve. If the seals go bad than the oil seeps into the crank under the combustion chambers, and enter the cylinders as you reported. To repair this problem the engine must be pulled out, and the cases split to replace the seals. This is not a easy repair and requires mechanical ability and the correct tools to perform this repair.
