how do you store a chainsaw

it does not have to be a chainsaw, any 2 stroke will do.

I bought a craftsman CS a few years ago, yea don't put it down, my last one lasted 20 years+ and I abused the HECK out of it. I have been starting it every now and then to run it so the carb wont gum up.
a very large tree limb fell in my neighbors yard the other day so I was going to cut it up for her. the saw started but ran like crap. after cleaning up the carb, it looked good but I suspect a sticking needle valve, I thought it was good.
so after banging it against the tree a few times I went bought another saw, an echo.

so how do you store it after use.
do you drain the gas and run it til it stops? do you still run them every few months?
I have a weed eater and blower I would like to keep running.

I am going to start using non ethanol gas in them.
