In addition, I also pull the spark plug out and pour about a tablespoon of motor oil in there. I then pull the starter rope a few times to coat the cylinder walls with it. I then put a new, properly-gapped plug in there (hey, they're cheap). I finish my stowaway procedure by pulling the starter rope until I feel the greatest resistance. This ensures that the piston is at TDC (least amount of cylinder wall surface area exposed) and that both intake and exhaust valves are closed to prevent any amount of moisture from seeping in.
Perhaps I'm being too anal about this whole thing, but all my machines haven't given me a lick of trouble so far....
