Now, let me ask a question.
After a year, which do you believe will be in better condition?
The machine that was thermal cycled every month and left with old fuel and oil in it. (Even in a desert environment, the combustion by-products left in a cylinder will cause corrosion.)
Or
The machine that was run only once (one thermal cycle) drained of fuel and fogged so none of the internal bare metal gets a chance to corrode.

Finally some common sense about generator use. Thank You.
One thing that you might want to add is that there can be a problem with the loss of residual magnetism in some generators, these should be started perhaps once a year.
