Growing up I remember my father "winterizing" the 2 cycle engines around the yard. Empty the fuel tank, start the motor, and fog the carb with mystery oil till the engine died. I assume it would have been the same if he had winterized the cars, bikes or trucks, IE: don't leave the fuel in the system if it ain't beein used. After high school I worked in a marina that hauled hundreds of boats in the fall and the process was very similar, whether it was an outboard, inboard or diesel. Old fuels, new fuels, additives.....adapt ?
