Runleader Digital LCD Waterproof Hour Meter for Small Engine,Track Oil Change Intervals, Generator,Lawn Mower,Outboard,ATV,Snow blowers,Marine,Dirt Ski,Motorcycle(HM006A-BU)

First, you can’t beat the price of this thing. Second, it helps track the hours of my mower’s engine run time so that I can change my oil at the right intervals. Finally, it’s really easy to install…It comes with a fairly long wire. I wrapped one end around the spark plug wire, checked the length to where I wanted to mount the display, and tucked the wire into the slot on the back of the display. I mounted the display and secured it with the two included screws. Secured the end of the wire wrap around the spark plug wire with one included zip tie and secured the other end with the other included zip tie. I then trimmed off the the zip tie ends and the excess wire. Easy! Works great!

These little “hobb meters” are a must for all your small engines. I have them on my generators, gas welders, lawn tractors etc. they are super easy to install and keep track of how many hours are on your equipment and can tell when they need service…. Very cheap insurance

Hello All,My Dad's (rest his soul) vintage (early 1980's Sears Craftsman model) edger rebuild project came out better than expected, especially with the hour meter monitoring (as you can see). I love doing these projects and seeing each of them transform right in front of my eyes. It was fun...Well, it started the first pull and it's a great little hour meter, as well. It all works just Awesome! However, the instructions need a bit of tweaking in my opinion because it is kind of vague on what to do with the sensor pickup wire at the spark plug lead. By the way, I did a "5" wire-loop wrap and zip-tied it off there and it worked great. I even found some original Craftsman stickers too...I test-ran my newly rebuilt edger with its new (waterproof) hour meter for the first time a couple of days ago and it did just fine. It registered just under half an hour (0.4 as you can see in the picture). Now, I will know exactly when to change my break-in oil at 5 hours of use, then 20 hours or whenever I feel the usage is there, rather than guessing.All in all, it's an impressive Edger Project, and that little "red" hour meter is second to none because it's being monitored by yours truly, me. I tried to give you all a before and after view of my little project, so I hope you liked it and its hour meter installation too...Sincerely,Jimbo

Installed on my generator after changing oil to stop guessing when to change oil. Installed simply with included screws. Ran it against my stop watch and accuracy is spot on. .1 is 6 minutes almost exactly. Highly recommend although I cannot speak to longevity so far it is perfect especially for the price and ease of use

Item was received except the instructions it was suppose to be included per item description.

Took me less than 5 minutes to install. Flush mounted on the upper panel of my generator (see pic).Now I don't have to guess between oil changes. Installation was a breeze, comes with long enough wire, zip ties, fastening hardware.Very simple installation only requires to put the signal wire in the slot on the back of the hour meter, then run it to your spark plug wire and then wrap it around it several times (see pic) and secure with the vendor furnished zip ties. Tested on gen set and work!!Very good product. If anything changes in quality I will edit my review, but as of now it's five stars.

Works great. The only thing no instructions came with it had to look it up on YouTube how to hook it up.

Pro: Fit nicely on my new PowerSmart 2500 inverter generator.Con: Comes with no directions.The hour meter comes with a length of wire & 2 mounting screws. Press one end of wire carefully into the slot in the back of the hour meter with a screwdriver to seat it in well. Drill a hole through the triangle piece on the handle at the bottom corner and feed the wire through the hole, and over the gas tank to the spark plug. Drill through horizontally. There is plenty of room. Don’t drill down, or vertically. The gas tank is below. Feed the wire over to the spark plug access hole. Use a wire hanger or stiff wire to feed the wire over if necessary. The other end or the black wire wraps 5 times around the spark plug wire, just behind the spark plug boot. Wrap the wire coil of 5 wraps with electrical tape and zip tie the tape to keep it from unraveling. Press the hour meter into the triangle piece on the front of the handle and mount it with the 2 little screws. Any extra wire can be cut off or coil it up and put a zip tie on it.
