Angus , personally I would stick to the corks , I try to make a habit of regularly starting my machines around every three weeks ,and run them for a couple of minutes. I find this keeps your corks OK. The downfall of this is of course remembering to keep the habit up.The alternative is to run all the fuel out of tank and carb , then remove the plunger and leave in paraffin over the storage period.
The MUST rule is NEVER USE E10 petrol , it will eat corks quicker than you can put them in.
