    Mobile Detail Van

    Here is a video of my current mobile detail setup.
    Was wanting some constructive feedback on what you guys like and what you would add or change.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Very nice. You can check with your local Honda shop or lawnmower shop on this but I was told by a Honda lawnmower guy that if you turn off the gas and drain the float chamber at the end of each day your carburetor will be much happier. In other words, run the float chamber out of gas whenever you're shutting down for the day. I do this with my lawnmower and generator (Honda) and it seems to work well for years.

    This ^ plus run some ethanol treatment with your fuel and you will eliminate 95% of the problems with your generator or any other fuel powered equipment.

    A fuel stabilizer works as well.

    Best advice you can give for any small engines, but especially for Honda & Kohler carbs.

    Also, look into non-ethanol gasoline sold at most small engine repair shops. Expensive, yes. But worth it IMO.

    That's what I buy. VP non-ethanol fuel in 5 gallon cans.
