What's your regime aside from changing the engine oil per schedule. This is BITOG afterall, and there sure are other things aside from oil
I'm not a OPE guru but I do want my OPE to work after storage. Some may see a yearly frequency, some may not. My newest OPE is two EU2000'i gensets. I put some oil, some gas just to make sure they worked. Then, I drained the gas, dropped the bowl to get any other residue, and then pulled the plug, ran 2 secs of fogging oil, put plug back in, and then gave a couple pulls on the rope till I got some resistance.
I DON'T EXPECT to use these gensets - with the possibility of average use Once every 3 Years. I do plan to just use them during the summer months - hooking it up to a portable pressure washer just to exercise it.
On my snowblowers, same regime. Drop bowl, drain gas. Turkey Baster to get gas out of tank. Fog engine, and compress.
Good 'ole ethanol obviously being the main culprit of screwups.
Any other best pratices I may be missing...
