Champion 2000 w Dual Fuel Generator

Any Champion Generator owners out there that can answer this.. My other generator is a Yamaha 2000IS and when I wasn't going to use it for awhile, I just shut the fuel valve off and let the carburetor run dry.. With the Champion there is no fuel valve to shut off.. I was led to believe that turning off the fuel tank vent valve, the fuel would run out and shut down. I have tried that but it continues to run on and on even with the vent shut off.. I want to store it for over several months. How do you run it dry or do you?

    Thank you for the response.. my generator does not have the run out of fuel setting on the switch..SO I just pop the cover, and open the drain screw on the carburetor and put the drain hose is a cup to drain the machine. I thought there would be an easier way such as what you have or my Yamaha generator has..
