What really gums up and corrodes the internals of carburetors is the Ethanol in most 'gas' .

At the end of your travel season, run down to the bottom of the tank, then add fuel stabilizer and 100% gas that some stations sell, run the generator for a little bit to pull that into the lines. When you shut it down, try to drain the carburetor bowl and incoming fuel line if you not going to be able to run it every 30days.
