Unfortunately, you can't get a generator like mine anymore (single cylinder air cooled diesel) in the US because the gestapo made them illegal, some nonsense about emissions and they unilaterally stopped approving them. Where you live, maybe it's different. But yes, it's an engine, and engines need to be exercised a couple of times a year to keep them in good working order.
