Roadtrek - how do you service generator?

minor services like oil change in place.

some add mufflers.

We rarely use ours- our style of camping is either campground shore power or we can go a couple of days on solely battery power.

gennys need to be run regularly to prevent the carb from clogging up...or - add a petcock to shut off fuel flow and run the genny until it stalls...

which is what we do.

while stored, every week or so I hit the start button ( no gas) for about 20 seconds to splash oil the motor.

Thanks much. We've never had a generator, but we have lots of small engines around home. I like the petcock idea.

"And is there any way to quiet it down any?"

A 12 Gage Magnum will work well. And one will feel good using the 12 Gage after several hours of running the Onan.
