Generator Maintence

Just a reminder. My generator and I am sure most say you should run them at least once a month for 20 minutes or so.


Since a lot of our trailers are not being used it might be time to check your generator.

Thanks.
I'll also dump the gas can into the truck and refill with ethanol free from Wa-Wa.
I always turn off the gas and run the generator until it quits so no gas is sitting in the carb.

I also run 'til it stops, but re-fill with e-free treated with Sta-bil, run again and store. Three months maximum.
Longer storage time, I will drain the carb.
I've found it's better to leave the tank full with treated gas.
