With my motorcycles I always just changed the oil, filled the tank, tossed in sta-bil, ran for a few minutes to get the fuel stabilizer into the carbs, and put them away for the winter.

Right, same here. Lawn mowers, snow blowers, motorcycles, boats (I/O and outboard) cars etc… but all those you end up using again in 6 months or so. My generator may sit there in the garage for 2 or 3 years and I’m wondering if that’s pushing my luck.

I really don’t want to be freezing my ass off on a 10 degree night when we lose power and I can’t get the generator to fire up because the gas has gone bad and fouled the carb.
