I drain the gas out then run/fog it until it stops. Take the spark plug out fog the cylinder and store.

One of the generators I have is 19 years old. I bought it new before some hurricane after we moved here. It is a 3200kw Craftsman. I have a basement that requires sump pumps to stay dry!

Still runs like a top. I replaced all the gas seals and lines last year. My other gen is a Husqvarna with a Honda motor, two years old, 10000kw.

All I can say is that the peace of mind is worth the threshold cost.
