Nothing.. mine sits from 2-4 months.. I drain the blocks, but really don't need to do anything else unless you put ethanol gas. If so, put stabil or seafoam in the fuel.

If you are 100% sure, you don't have to worry about freezing temps, then just put some Stabil in the fuel tank as a precaution and that is not really even needed.
Nothing else needs to be done for a 2 month lay up.

+1 Here in Pittsburgh sometimes it just rains for 2 months straight in the summer............I always use a ethanol fuel stabilizer but a 2 month layup has never been an issue at all.
