Well, I would put non E canned gas in it,then run for a minute until the fuel is in the carb .I want to put my chainsaw in hibernation,should i empty the gas and oil tanks?
Run the engine until it won't idle anymore after draining the gas. Then add a few drops of 2-stroke down the plug-hole to coat the top end.Ok then
Fogging fluid is specifically designed for long term storage of engines. 2 stroke oil fails by comparison. A $5 can of fogging fluid will do multiple saws. Just because it's being coated during operation doesn't mean it's great for storage. Further depending on the base stocks used in the 2 stroke oil they have next to zero protection against moisture and corrosion. I doubt its an issue if your version of long term storage is under a year, and your storage conditions are favorable to a dry climate.Dump gas out, leave the oil, run until it dies if you feel like it, otherwise good enough.
If you run good 2 smoke mix it should have stabalizers in it, so worst case the fuel evaporates leaving the oil behind, making it a right bastard to start after a long storage but not impossible, the left over oil will protect the carburetor from corrosion. As for pouring anything into the cylinder? I'm not entirely sure what they intend since 2 strokes already work off of coating everything in oil anyway.
sounds like marketing wank to me, i've rebuilt countless saws some submerged, left outside, runned over etc, never ran into a single one that had corroded on the insideFogging fluid is specifically designed for long term storage of engines. 2 stroke oil fails by comparison.

I follow this approach. Sometimes can start it again 2 or 3 times after it dies initially...I'll run it dry until it stops and then choke it and start it again and dry it completely up
Sounds like a case of limited exposure working on engines.sounds like marketing wank to me, i've rebuilt countless saws some submerged, left outside, runned over etc, never ran into a single one that had corroded on the inside
Even big motors only corrode and sieze if lots of moisture get into the cylinders, and they dont really have the same protective film as 2 smoke oils baked into the cylinder walls
