I have a honda EU20i genny and like others in here I would like to fit an hour meter. I have searched the archives, however most seem to be digital display and I was hoping to fit one with the tumbler display. Reason being of course, if it ever stuffs up I'll still have an idea of the hours clocked up. (Memory is not as good as some) Anyone here fitted the type I am talking about and if so was it difficult to fit? I know the digital ones just wrap around the sparkplug lead, however I think the type I want is more involved.

Thanks Tony.

The only one that comes to mind is like the Yamaha Kodiak ATV's use.Fairly big and bulky though.

Just a thought most mx bikes have an hour meter fitted aftermarket. Perhaps if you spoke to your local bike shop they may be able to point you in the right direction. Gievnt he environment they are exposed to it may suit. they are quite compact also.

No need to to hardwire anything expcept for the earh wire, Pickup is acvhieven by laying the positive wire along the spark plug lead for 4". Not sure of cost though, probably around $80.00?
