I would suggest to pull the front crankcase drain (on the bottom of the engine under the crankshaft-well forward of the oil drain) and kick it through while that is out, Clean and dry the air filter, new spark plug, drain the carb float bowl and either stand it on it's tail to drain pipe well or pull the pipe since you're back home. More than likely you still have water in the engine even though it's been 2-3 days. DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE CRANKCASE DRAIN BACK IN AFTER YOU REMOVE IT ! It would be a perfect time to change the oil also........Good luck
