I bought a 6200 watt Briggs & Stratton portable generator to get me thru
after a hurricane (Wilma 9yrs ago?). I've changed the gas and oil and
started it with a load every other month for 9 yrs. I run the motor dry
each shutdown and put a load on it while I'm running it. I forgot this
winter and let the stabilized gas go bad. Fairly sizable pieces of rust in
the float bowl like half a penny.
Is it time to put it out on the curb or do I go thru the hassle of
borrowing a truck and taking it to a shop ?
If you've ever been w/o power at your home for a couple weeks when all the
stores run out of new machines you'd know where I'm coming from.
