Same here, done this for 10+ years on everything. Tank full to prevent condensation. Drain carbs to eliminate any risk of gumming up. Attempt to start with choke on after draining to ensure you got it all out. If you a have vacuum/auto petcock you'll need to disconnect vacuum line for last step to prevent gas from getting to carbs.
