I'd rather be lucky the good. Just started our gen yesterday after setting since August of 2015. Fired up after priming and ran great. We have gone almost a full year before without starting it, and it still fired and ran great. If you keep the tank full when laying the MH up, everything should be fine. I do use sta-bil in all small engines, but do you have any idea how much sta-bil you would need to do a 70 gallon fuel tank, and how do you mix it up? As for the gens love to run, anything internal combustion has wear from running, granted the electrical end needs to have a load on it to keep from glazing the armature. Some of the statements are a kin to the fallacy of the V10 is a high revving engine. It has the same rev limits as any other V8 or V10.
