My brother works on small engines as a business, and he gets a lot of generators.
He told me that they will quit making power if they are not used under load. He told me, and all the manufacturers that I have researched (which isn't all of them by any means) recommend using them monthly.
He said after Y2K and the generators had sat for a while, he was very busy with people wanting to know why the engine would run, but they couldn't get any power out of it.
I run mine monthly, and it gets as cold here as it does anywhere in the lower 48.
