I'm asking a question that many of us on the East coast may be wanting to
know.
OK, after two major storms and multiday power outages, my generator has
gotten a workout.
Being a good small engine owner, I want to service and store this
generator properly. My question is, what should I do?
First, is there a 'service kit' that includes all the filters/gaskets/etc
that I should replace after extended use?
Failing a kit, what should I do besides a simple oil change?
The generator is a Coleman Vertex 7500. There is no petcock for the fuel
and it has a fuel pump. I'm not sure how to run the carbs dry without
burning all the fuel in the tank. Any ideas?
What else should I do to prep the genny for storage until the next time I
need it?
Thanks in advance.
PS, follow up about the knife block, about 5 mins with a recip saw worked
perfectly! Why didn't I think of that? Thanks to all who helped with
answers.
