[SFDXA] small engine care

[Norm Alexander]

Always add fuel stabilizers to petrol powered equipment.  Shut fuel value and run until it stops which removes fuel in carb. bowl.

Good advice;

a tree went over the power lines up here and warranted the use of my Honda 3KW gen set;  it ran and kept the freezer running but with the choke half out.  I had it serviced at the local Honda dealer and the carb jets and throat were varnished up due to leaving the old gas in there without running for a few months.  I thought I had been running it enough to prevent that but apparently not.  Now I start and put a load on it for 15 or 20 minutes every couple of weeks.

Good DX!
