I like just adding some Stabil, running the machine for a while to get it into the carb, then calling it a winter. The Stabil-ized gas in the carb won't gum up, the seals won't dry out, and condensation won't form in the carb (or tank - keep it full). Plus, you can forget the siphons and pumps. YMMV.
Just recently purchased a silent generator /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif. Two hours after I received it and started using it (after 11 +days w/o power) the electricity arrived /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. When I reviewed the Storage procedures it indicated the use of a hand pump.
After a little leg work these are my findings...Hope they are useful to you.
Thanks you for doing so much work looking for these pumps. The cheap <$10 pumps are what I am looking for. Now I just need to find who carries them around me. I can't imagine mail ordering something that will double its price with shipping.
