I'll bet the owner's manual says to start it every month and run it for 30 minutes or so. My manual conveniently forgets to address when you live in cold climates that trying to start a frozen generator every month will cause way more wear and tear / damage than letting it sit until it warms up again.

Carb problems are only part of the issue. The reason you run the genny under load is to blow off the moisture on the brushes and windings. Go to you local GA airport and get a couple of gallons of 100LL. Shelf life is 2 years, but it actually will go much longer. No draining carbs, no Seafoam, no worries.

So I assume you were successful then?
I have a Honda 2000 that I use at home and I use aviation gas in that and drain the carb and store it for many months and it starts right up when needed. I have considered a modification to add a second gas tank that I can switch to with av gas that can be switched to before shutting down. I'll see how much I actually use the generator before I put a lot of time and money into making it less work to maintain.
