My race 2 stroke simple ‘SSBB’ engines were shut down in late 1979 after leaving APBA racing, they sat in the garages of 5 houses I moved from and in 2008 started them up with no real issues. I did rotate them over every 8 or so years and changed the gear lube on occasion. They are a 1973 Merc 25ss CD ignition and a 1976 Yamato Y80 points ignition both 2 cylinder jobs. When I shut them down drained all fuel and flooded with OB oil. Presently use them regular at AOMCI meets.
