Okie, I've heard that the fuel back in the Mainland USA is a lot better than what we get out in California -- maybe that's one reason why your generators are still in good shape. Ours has a lot of ethanol and air pollution prevention additives. True, the air is a lot cleaner now than it was in the bad old days of the 1960s, but California gas is very tough on the little carb jets in Honda generators. I have learned the hard (expensive) way that the carb has to be drained when the generator is going to sit for more than a few days, even though I run it under load for a half hour every month and use Seafoam regularly.
