I'm hopefully getting a remote start genset soon(most likely a single cylinder diesel) so I wonder how often do I need to program it to start up (after break in) to maintain it? I haven't decided on the location yet, It'll either sit on a pad behind a building outside (but under an extended roof), or it will be in a steel uninsulated shed (depending on how much noise it makes - the shed is nearer te house).
So, do you run your genset periodically? If so, how often and for how long?
I have to admit with my old petrol one, it would often sit unused for a year (with old gas in the tank, but not in the carb). And after a year (usually in a middle of a winter, during a cold night) I would use a cordless drill as a starter and it would always start in 10s or so every time.
