Hey Ted, There really is no mechanical benefit; for me, I have several people in my family who may have to start the generator when I may not be home. Closing the choke on shut down means it is left in the correct position for starting next time (in the dark) so it starts on first try. I try to start it every month or two to keep battery charged but I don't want anyone making several attempts to start and wearing down battery or starter. Hope this helps and makes sense for you! Thanks for the comment. Best regards, P.

THe porch is a hunting cabin about 100 miles away, I want tp be able to haul it there complete and not work on it during the limited time I can be there. which is why it has the rear supprts as well

@@psmiley84 10-4 that makes total sense!

I think its a craftsman, not much better!

charcoal grill with apple wood chunks. totally smoky flavor

yes.

Level up Baby! Cooking with Gas!

sure is okay to do. remember though that when closed, the choke butterfly valve helps keep air from entering the combustion area. air and moisture are the enemy of the combustion area.

Put a psi gauge on and check that you have proper psi being generated from compressor which is on the back of the fan motor. Check for tight seal on air filter cover, or cracked air hose.

It's worked for me. If I forget to run the gas out I get a gummed up non working carburetor.

Keep at it.

I only run it about once a month. I always shut off fuel and let it run til it dies. I have become adept at removing cleaning and/or replacing carburetors which is almost always why small engines won't start. By running fuel out of the carburetor it doesn't get gummed up and this this cheap Chinese knockoff generator starts and runs everytime. I run it for 30-60 minutes to keep the battery charged and change oil and plug every 1-2 years or after 25 hours. So far, it runs like a champ. I have installed fuel shut offs on most other machines and try to do the same unless I run them 1-2 times per week. I would rather run them monthly and run out the fuel than remove and clean or replace the carburetor. Its easy but a pain in the ass, and for generator it's important that it starts as you usually need it in the worst weather the worst time to have to monkey with it to get it to run. Also installed a $9 hourmeter/tachometer on the spark plug wire. Worth $9.

@@psmiley84 thank you for getting back to me. I kinda knew it a tiny bit but wanted to show my wife because she said “ I don’t think you should shut it off like that!” 🙄 sooo I click on you video and Bam 💥 that was what I needed to show her. Gave me knowledge I appreciate you. I showed her your video & just now read your message to her. From one man to another THANKS !!!! And thanks for all the great tips. 💪🏽✅👍🏼

@@daedaetinez6406 Happy to help Best regards to wife, I only learned this spending hard earned money and time on multiple small engines. Change the oil regularly, run out the gas, try to use ethanol free gas if you can. Also, the carburetors are so cheap now, sometimes the whole kit is $10-15, for vital equipment there is no harm in keeping a spare in the garage.

@@psmiley84 Thank you Sir. Blessings to you & your Family. <><
