The generator starts on Propane, so I don't need to worry about stale
gas or bunged up carbs. For long term use I connect it to the natural
gas line. (reduced output though)


Best thing is to run dry then like propane there is nothing to go bad.


I've been doing that for awhile, for both mover and generator. It stops
cleanly on propane (a second or 2 after I close the valve). With
gasoline it hesitates a lot, and takes up to 2 minutes to quit.
