My generator has served me well through two hurricanes and the usual array of Southdowns power events, and now I'd like to pay it back with a good service plan.

Other than changing the oil -- as I have every 40 running hours without fail -- and tossing some Sta-Bil in the tank after the storm, are there any other suggestions?

If I really want to throw some $ at it, is there a best small-engine or generator shop here in Baton Rouge? (B&S 5.5KW)

Thanks, and thanks for all of the TD advice and entertainment during the storm.

Remove carb bowl,spray liberally with Marine Fogging oil,replace.
This solution will keep any gasoline residue from varnishing.

I've never changed the oil in mine, it's a miracle it still works. I'm thinking about changing it this weekend.
