Another Generator Question

I have the Tri Fuel Firman from Costco. I've never run it off anything but propane. Should I periodically run it on gas? I've had it about a year or so. My goal is to never run it off gas, but may need that as an option.

gas
natural gas or gasoline? Assuming you mean gasoline. I have the same generator - I’ve just run it on propane & natural gas. I’ve yet to run it with gasoline, and don’t intend to - don’t want to take any chances with “gumming” up the carb - and yes I always use fuel stabilizer in small gasoline engines + close the petcock and run the gasoline out the carb, and drain the carb bowl. But I have his generator for only running the house, I have another smaller gasoline generator for other uses.
Honestly if it was me, I would just assume it will run on gasoline just fine in that rare case you might need to do so and avoid putting gasoline in it until you need to do so.

No need to run any gasoline through it for any reason. It’ll be fine on 100% NG or Propane, and still run fine on gasoline if you were to ever need it.
The biggest potential would be if you did rarely run it on gasoline, and didn’t properly drain the carb or run it dry. Potential for the old gas to foul up the carb and create issues.

Thanks, that's the way I am leaning.

Same, not running gasoline just natural gas.
