drain the carb, too!
I agree. Hold the STOP switch down until the fuel pump fills the bowl and press START . This usually takes less than 10 seconds. This is unnecessary if the genset has been run very recently.
At the end the trip, drain the carb bowl to prevent varnish buildup. Just connect a short length of fuel hose to the fitting on the bottom of the bowl and turn the drain screw until the fuel empties into a small jar. Dump the contents back into the fuel tank. (This last step may prevent a carb problems later.)
