Hi Butch,
I installed a switch in the ignition lead that goes to the factory kill switch (the rotary knob on the side of the generator**... as it happens this "switch" is also the fuel valve. When it is time to store the generator I turn off the factory switch (valve) and leave my ignition switch ON and run the carb out of fuel. I have been doing this for 6 years with no ill effects.
BTW, I always use Sta-Bil in the fuel tank
Cheers

** This was done so that I can select the Eco-Throttle and shut off my generator from inside the camper.
