Carbs:
Turn the fuel petcock OFF, or on ON if it's a vacuum type.
Drain the carbs by opening the drain screws on the bottom of the bowls, allowing all the fuel out. Close the drain screws.
Add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank.
Battery:
Keep in a warm place.
Trickle charge it, or charge it once a month with a low amp charger.
Keep the fluid levels up.
