Do you exercise your generator in the winter?

I added a switch to the electric fuel pump. Now when I know that I'm not going to use it again for quite some time I run it for a while to get it warm, then turn the fuel pump off and let it run out of gas. Been doing that for several years.
I do the same thing, Dusty. Love technology that makes my life easier. I have mine do a reminder on the day that it is due, and then I will have it set an alert 3 days later. I figure that within 3 days, I should be able to get an opportunity to hang out at the RV for a little bit while the genny runs. I use the opportunity to check for leaks (Luckily, I haven't found any so far), straighten up if anything needs it, or run a clorox wipe over the counters and bathroom. When it's not cold enough to run the heater in the RV, I run the vacuum to put a load on the generator. I do this every month since I just recently dropped $700 on a new carburetor for the genny. I'll also run the engine for at least 30 minutes while I'm there.
