I do about the same as others have stated. If at all possible, I run everything dry before storage, along with using stabilizer.The Honda motors can be a problem, as you stated. The passages in these carbs are so tiny that they are more prone to clog up. The use of Ethanol in these motors, along with prolonged non use, is a death sentence. I worked on a 25 Honda that sat for 2 years with ethanol treated with Stabil. I ended up replacing one entire carburetor to get it to run, even after 4 attempts to clean it.
My favorite stabilizer is CRC brand in the white bottle. It is inexpensive and is concentrated. I have used it for years, at the dealership, and at my own shop.
