Yeah what Particle Man kinda... I just changed the oil in May so that didn't need to be done.

But it's still a pain to start in the winter cause it's cold. If I do, I usually set it in front of the kero heater to heat it up before I go for the rip cord.

I try to run the genny a few times a year, and top off the gas. This time, due to it being topped off in the summer last... needed a bunch of gas. I have found that lack of air in the gas tank with seafoam helps the gas stay fresh.
