I say fog it with proper stabilizer in the fuel system. I'd rather keep a carburator "wet" than dry and it's not recommended to run injectors w/o fuel flow (though in this case it's probably not long enough to be an issue). Now with that all said, we never fogged our old OB's. We removed the plugs and gave each cylinder a squirt of light oil and then hand rotated the crank to spread it out. They seemed to survive OK.
