Agreed at least once every week or two. Let it get up to operating temp. I run my Honda 2000 watt generator for 15 minutes with my wife's hair dryer as a load once a month. I have several friends who have Yamaha or Honda generators that they let sit for six months and found the fuel system to be all gummed up, and wouldn't start.

Two weeks sitting no problem. Its not running for months, or years where you risk problems. I read all the time about people who have p-cars that sat for years without starting, but could be started, but didn't. I have to wonder why. Fuel turns to varnish, seals dry out and they start to leak. What's the big deal of going out and turning a key every once in a while?

Tires go to crap just sitting in one spot for months. I have lifting scissor jacks on my camping trailer, and I take the load off of the tires whenever I park it. It does wonders to prolong the life of the tires. I use it a few times a year. Same with the pcar, drive it to flex the tires and keep them round.
