Markus. I agree with what you posted, but want to clarify a few things.

At first the engine was not my priority because it had been in that condition for four months. As soon as I drained the water and oil, the condition changed and the internal engine was exposed to air. Then it became urgent.

...Maybe its a good idea to pull the oil pan before putting in new oil.
I would have pulled the oil pan, except that when I drained the engine, only two things came out: Clean water and clean oil. I think that there is minimal residual water in there now and I will flush more oil through, to clear it.

Seats: don't put them in bags. They need to dry completely. Best would be a warm, ventilated area without sun. Else you get must / mildew in the foam.
I have removed them from the bags. The purpose of the bags was to allow a mildew killing agent to seep into the seats without dispersing.

Check the ball joints and steering system for water.
Yes, soon.

...Problem with filling the cylinders with oil / 2 stroke oil ist that it's a flat engine.
Correct, they can not be filled. What I did do was spray 'fogging oil' into the spark plug holes until it flowed back out, then pumped some 2-stroke oil into both sides of the plenum.

vielen Dank
