You're doing everything right. Turn off the fuel valve, run the engine until it stops and then drain the bowl. That should do it :-)

If you want to avoid this process, just add some fuel stabilizer to the tank. This is available at most boating stores and extends the life of 2-stroke fuel significantly.

As far as cleanout...take it apart, hit it with some carb cleaner, a fresh rag and some compressed air.

Hope this helps!
