Depends on how long you're storing it. A couple of months at a time you don't need to do much.

A couple of years at a time you need to store it correctly.

I put mine on axle stands and filled the engine full (I mean to the head) with oil.

When I restarted it, I took the spark plugs out, turned it over and let oil pump out of the spark plug holes. This relubed everything internally.

I then drained the oil, filled it with fresh oil, replaced the plugs and kicked her over.

Restarted first shot.
