Marvel Mystery oil or automatic transmission fluid works for just about anything if you really feel that you have to do something, but truth be told all you have to do is make sure all the gas is out of the carb and put it in a box for storage. The oil mixed in the gas, and not using methanol based fuels takes care of them pretty well. Same methods of storage as a chain saw or weed wacker.

I just squirt a little "full strength" 2-stroke oil in the cylinder and make sure the gas is drained out of the carb before storage.
