I would treat it like a boat engine.  Go to your local marine supply store & get some fogging oil.  If you can run the engine, remove the air filter, & spray the fog oil down the carbs with then engine running.  The engine should start to smoke out the exhaust. One you have a goo smoke out the exhaust shut the engine down.  This will lubricate all the areas internally. If you can start the engine spray down the carbs & manually crank the engine. You will have to replace the plugs when you want to restart it as they will be oil fouled.  Might not be a bad idea to spray down the exterior of everything with a light coat of wd40 then store covered.   Dont forget to either drain the carb bowls, or run treated fuel through the system.
