Some never do, some use the gen all the time so it’s not needed. But running it every now and then to clear the carb, get moisture out of the oil and electrical parts, remove corrosion that may occur, is a good idea. The last thing you want is to need it, and it not work properly. In the summer, just run the AC while running then gen for an hour. In the winter use a 1500 watt heater to provide the load. If you have a heat pump then it will do both. I wish they came with the same valve as on my Honda lawn mower that shuts the flow of fuel to the carb.
