New homeowner here. Some stuff I learned about my generator this holiday season:

Non-ethanol gas for generator.

When close to empty, run with no load until empty. Gets all the gas out of the carb. Gas in the carb gunks up your generator.

Non-ethanol gas is more shelf stable than ethanol gas, although it won’t last forever.

Add stabil to all your fuel, ethanol or non. It can extend the shelf life up to 2 years from personal experience.

Finding it though can be hard, at least where I am in southern Maine.
