I have a portable (does power my whole house) that I start on a regular (sort of) basis, every couple of months or so. I run 93 octane and treat the gas with Startron. I let it run for 15 mins or so. I did fire it up the day before the storm and it started on its normal second pull.

Sorry for all your damage.

Thank you, Dave. Ours is a whole house generator, installed Nov. 2017, so it shouldn’t be having problems. The Generac guy is supposedly coming here this morning, so hopefully it won’t just be a nasty-looking lawn ornament! His answer when we called to report that it wasn’t working: “Just call me when it’s not working, and I will fix it!” Excuse me, but the point of having it is so you can rely on it when you’re not home....correct? Anyhow, fingers crossed. 🤞
