If you ahve been starting it every month I don't see as how it would need much else....

If you are going to change the oil I would also change all the filters, and flush the fuel system, fuel that sits for a while will break down and the results will gum up your lines and carb, there are fuel system additives you can add if you dont want to go through the hassle of a full flush.
