I'm sure that's true. For the record, this time I had run it completely dry before I put it up. Probably last ran a year ago. Maybe two. This thing is 15 years old, and due to my previous neglect, it only runs smoothly with the choke on, halfway between full open and full closed.
It's bloody noisy and drinks at least a gallon of gas an hour, but it's still great being able to convert dead dinosaurs into electrons on that rare occasion that electrons aren't available from the usual sources.
