[NSRCA-discussion] Generator Storage

[Atwood, Mark]

Hey Dennis,

Sorry for the slow reply.  I was down at the JR Indoor for the weekend and I’m just catching up on email.

I put Sta-bil in the fuel and ran it some yesterday (too nice not to fly outside) and I guess I’ll just leave it for now.  I’ll make sure to change the oil in the spring too.


Regarding the Cap, Tell me again which one it is and how much?   I think it’s probably a good deal and a good kit for him.  It’s more about having something new to build.

How are the legs?

I would put sta-bil in the fuel. that way if you do get a nice day you can still run the generator. any auto parts store will have it, Meijer etc.
It also works for the lawnmower, I would not put it in a two-stroke that has oil mixed in the fuel.
Fogging oil is just that while going thru the carb. also a very good idea but depending if you will need it stored in the garage is maybe. arguements can be made on either side of using it. If it was a boat stored outside i would say yes. stored inside maybe not.
anyways so have you decided on the cap yet?
Dennis

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.
