actually i'd get gas stabilizer and fill the tank up , if you empty it it will rust inside/ id also take a squirt can and squirt oil inside each cylinder// as far as the exterior rusting well good luck i've found it to be a difficult process// you might get a case of gibbs oil(about $110) and spray the whole exterior and continue to spray it every 3 months or so . that would give you a chance// the last option you have is to sell it off before you get classed as one of those "i'm gunna restore it sumday" types that sumday never comes and it rusts to nothing

florida is a very bad place to try and let something sit outside waiting for attention
