I doubt sitting for 2 years is long enough to bind up a valve in the closed position

His problem is elsewhere
I suppose my more than 50 years of wrenching on As should qualify me to agree with this post, but I imagine some self proclaimed experts would disagree. Oh yeah, right, I forgot, we have "real experts here" to whom I shall defer.

So, what did the problem turn out to be, anyway?
