Clean them up pretty;
fix or replace damaged parts;
remove excessive carbon deposits on port/exhaust if needed;
clean and regap plug;
fill up with fuel & stabil or drain completely depending.

Yup, works for me.

I fill the tank with fuel/stabilizer mix and use fogging oil to coat the carb innards. Been doing it for years now and have not had a single failure to start in the spring. They smoke a lot for a few minutes from the fogging oil but there is none of the white crap in the carbs that you get sometimes if you leave them dry. I do the same thing on the four stroke stuff as well. Takes only a few minutes and ends the hassles in the spring.

WAY TO GO ALAN............I HAVE BEEN FOGING MY STUFF FOR QUITE SOME TIME WITH GREAT RESULTS. THIS PAST SPRING EVERY THING STARTED AND RAN GREAT. IF YOU CAN FIND IT MARVEL MISTERY OIL IS A GREAT PRODUCT FOR THIS.

Stable and Marval Mystery Oil are typically available at most chain auto stores, K-Mart and Wal Mart.
