[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1654968, member: 40335"] Learned too that you don't want to leave fuel in these small engines over 60 days. Say fuel that old will gum up engines like saws, weedeaters, 4 wheelers etc...., boat motors. I have always unhooked the gas hose from my boat motors to let the engine burn the rest of the fuel left in the carburetor before pulling it out of the water at the boat ramps. Told that mechanic about doing that and he said he shuts the fuel off at the carburetor of his generator on his travel trailer. Said that if the generator isn't sitting level when it is shut off. The float in the carburetor can stick open and let fuel into the crank case somehow and cause it to explode somehow ? I never heard of something like that happening. That mechanic said he had one brought in that had done that and had busted the crank case on the engine because of it ? So i am going to start shutting the fuel off on my generator and let it burn the fuel out of the bowl like have always done on my boat motors. [/QUOTE]
