We got rid of ours when we moved from S. Florida. It had to be started every 4 weeks or else the gas got old, gummed up the carb due to the Ethenol and cost me over $100 to get it running again. Went through that twice even after using Stabil in the gas although not the newer Stabil which is suppose to handle Ethnol better. Even with the generator we lost food after 3 hurricanes because I we really didn't want to run it all night and keep the neighbors awake. I told my wife now that we're here and if we lose power from a hurricane we'll just jump in the car and head to the mountains of northern Ga, N.C., or Tenn. and have a neighbor call us when we have power. Power probably won't be out for more than 3 days. I have three 5 gal gas cans I plan to fill when a storm approaches and that will get us out of the state where gas should be available. After a storm many stations have gas but no power to pump it.
