We have a 3200 watt genny in the garage, tank filled with non-E gas treated with Stabil.
Pull start, no battery,= no battery problems.
Fired up twice a year, just before Kane season and 6 months after.
Trick here is to have a fuel cut-off switch and to
run the fuel bowl dry before storing.
Spare parts include
It's own personal qt of oil
Spark plug
Governor spring. This is most important as the spring is thin and first to rust out and break.
It is oiled well at both fire ups.
We maintain a
minimum of 15 gallons non-E at all times which is rotated through all of our lawn and maintenance equipment.
This keeps the gas fresh and rotated and the non-E doesn't clog up the 2 cycle carbs.
