sfish ... I'm just curious as to why you recommend running premium gas? I've not see any genset operators manual steering one toward premium as the compression ratio in a small engine is rather low. Are you just mentioning this to stay away from ethanol? I agree that ethanol seems to gum up small engines up if let set, but there are still several stations that sell regular without ethanol.
I also run high test in my 2 hondas it just seems to start easier and the gas last longer when sitting for a wile, normally I empty the gas tank and dran the carburaters, I am about to do that real soon, they have been sitting for about 1 & 1/2 months now with this old gas.
I did have a gen set schalak up on me and that was 119 dollars for the repare. now I dump the gas.
