[NSRCA-discussion] Generator Storage

[Verne Koester]

I change the oil at the end of the season and dump the gas out. I also clean
the air filter as per the manual which I'll send you shortly. If you take
the side cover off, you'll see a gold colored bowl shaped object with a
screw in the bottom. Open up that screw and any fuel left in the bowl will
drain out. Close the screw back and start it up and let it run dry. I don't
bother with fogging oil.

Hey All you E guys.

 

I am new to this part of the game and wondered what the proper routine was
for storing my Honda Generator for the winter.  I have the 1000 version.

 

Run it with Sta-bil in the fuel?  Run it dry?  Empty the oil? Change the
oil?  Both?  Or better to run it every few weeks?

 

Suggestions?    

 

We may not be quite done flying here in Cleveland, but it was 32 degrees
this morning, so we're close.  Time to frame up some foamies and hit the
gym.
