I know opinions vary, even among specialists.
I've got a 2800 watt Onan. I use two space heaters, one on high (1500 watts) one on low (750 watts). That gives me about an 80% load. Do that for 1/2 hour once a month. I figure that should replace the fuel in the carburetor, get the windings warmed up and should have enough current in the slip rings to help clean them.
