Re: Generator maintenance with no batteries Reply #5 – December 27, 2021, 08:17:17 pm Have you put stabilizer (Sta-Bil) in the tank and run the generator before you stored it? That should keep the carb from gumming up. If not, I recommend you pop the batteries back in to do this - a pain, but better than the expense of a new carb and service call...Steve 1 Likes
