How many of you run your engine and generator after putting your rigs away for the winter? Is this something that should be done?
I think this probably has been discussed to DEATH more than once on here already. Have you looked ??
The engines will be just fine if they are properly prepared like you did and sitting for 6 months or less. A small generator is a bit more iffy though.
The main purpose of running things is to keep the batteries charged. The secondary purpose is to keep fresh fuel in the carburetors. Once a month is plenty for that. Stirring up the oil really isn't necessary.
In your situation, I would just be sure that the stabilized fuel makes it into the generator and then just let is sleep.
