My guess is "yes".
I know we're referring to LP gas generators here but I read this on Onan's FAQ:
Quote:
Do diesel generators need exercising like gasoline generators?
Yes, regular exercise helps lubricate the seals and engine components and keeps carbon from building up. Regular exercise also heats up the generator windings and removes or expels excess moisture. In sets equipped with brushes, exercising helps prevent corrosion build up on the slip rings.

So the purpose of exercising your generator is
not only to prevent a gas model's carburetor from gumming up.
