I bought a 6200 watt Briggs & Stratton portable generator to get me thru after a hurricane (Wilma 9yrs ago?). I've changed the gas and oil and started it with a load every other month for 9 yrs. I run the motor dry each shutdown and put a load on it while I'm running it. I forgot this winter and let the stabilized gas go bad. Fairly sizable pieces of rust in the float bowl like half a penny. Is it time to put it out on the curb or do I go thru the hassle of borrowing a truck and taking it to a shop ? If you've ever been w/o power at your home for a couple weeks when all the stores run out of new machines you'd know where I'm coming from.
