question on 3 year old generator (self-starter, battery equipped) stored unused for 3
years

if unit was stored drained from fuel, is there anything detrimental to the non-use,
assuming it was brand new, used for 60 to 90 minutes and then fuel was drained and
item stored ? the battery is totally dead of course, but what about the mechanical or
electronic parts?

oil sat for 3 years but is not colored dark, likely it would contain some moisture but
would it deteriorate just sitting?

anything else that I am not asking, but should ask ?

Depending on where it was stored, some problems you might want to
check for:

Rust in Gas tank if it is not plastic. Oil leaks from dried up seals.
The carb could have developed some moisture and be clogged. Corroded
electrical terminals.

Basically, check everything.
