Did you have a chance to "pickle" or preserve the engine with fogging oil and
all the rest of the protocol before putting the engine to sleep?
If not, there is likely to be a fair bit of corrosion, degraded rubber hoses,
and gasoline residue to clean out. The carbs in particular will likely need
rebuilding.
Get the manuals on line maint. from Rotax for free off the web.

Ain't going to cheap or pretty :(
I ran into a friend from Lockwood today at Sun and Fun during
vendor setup day. Since the info is not "official" but came from
someone I'd consider authoritative, I thought I'd relay it to those who
care here.
Basically, the best idea might be to start with a new airframe. Field
upgrading an engine would be a big job and probably not officially
supported. It was suggested that even hanging a whole new engine
without a whole new FWF kit would be a big job.
The good news is that the iS engine should cost less than a 914,
somewhere in the $24-25k range
