Yeah, that's why I said "she might have something" because I remember we've discussed this before, but I didn't bother to retain the details because...well...it could change.
Glad you got your power back, morning Tibs.
@oldbikeguy - nm. I guess there's an "interlock kit" that does what I was going to ask about.

Tibs before you store it make sure you run the gas out of the carb and fill the tank with fresh gas that's been stabilized
Good morning in here.
We really should get a little generator for here one of these years...
I have a propane grill with burners so I am good for cooking stuff...but nothing to keep things cold (or to run even a fan)

Morning AG and Classy.
Yeah, classy. But you don't freeze. It's mostly the freezer stuff for you. I guess the heat can be hard on the infirmed and elderly.
The thing is...up north...people freeze to death or have their pipes freeze or whatever. Many people don't have fireplaces and wood anymore.
If you get 4 feet of snow so you can't get out, and no power to heat stuff, and you don't have a fireplace, it sucks big time.
However, statistically, it may be that heat kills more than cold. IDK.

You run it until it dies...that's the easiest. Make sure it has the valve in "off" position if there is one, or drain the tank completely. Sometimes there's a little button on the bottom of a float that you can press to drain any leftovers from the carburetor bowl.morning, classy and obg!

Like atty said most generators have a fuel shut off just shut it off and run it till it dies
too late! will remember next time
no idea yet where, atty! hopefully, i can find somebody to take a look soon
where is frannie's dh when i need him? 
woohoo! carburetor drained! dh and i got it running one more time and this time turned off the gas supply line
