onan 4k gen

I have a four winds with an onan 4 K gen. that I use maybe once a year. It is always a pain trying to un-gum it when I need to use it because the gas goes bad in-between uses. Should I drain the float bowl when not in use or do I need to run it every month or so?

    Unless you want to keep doing what you are doing, IMO, yes, you should run it every month or so, AND yes, you should drain the float bowl if you are not regularly using it.
