It's that time of the year when I go around and check out all my power equipment and prepare them for winter storage. Draining fuel, changing oil, checking for debris and critter nests in the cooling fins.
I have a spare 4000w generator that's stored in the barn and I hadn't ran it since last fall when I stored it. I expected to find the normal muddabber nests.
But this year a mouse decided it would be a good place to live. As soon as I started to remove the shroud I knew what I was going to find.
Nice comfy home.
Mouse urine is corrosive and a pretty good solvent for epoxies used to hold the flywheel magnets on.
Magnets epoxied back in place.
This year I think I'll bag the engine with some mothballs.
