Be sure to use Stabil in your gasoline.
good stuff, I use it in my boat, chain saw and a lot of stuff that isn't used all the time.
I bought that generator way before Y2K and let it sit for a few years and sure nuff, the float bowl turned to jelly. The repair guy put the main needle valve back in upside down so it wouldn't run good at all and I didn't discover it till well after Y2K!!!
Here's one guy that sure was happy Y2K never amounted to anything!!!
