They sell engine bags, pretty much the same thing as a car cover. It allows moisture to escape but keeping all the bad stuff out.

eastwood sells a block off kit(or you can use tape) but they also sell a desiccant spark plug to keep moisture out of the cylinder which is great if its gonna be sitting for a while
