Total install time: Approximately 5-10 minutes.
Demonstration on how you can install a basic NON-INVASIVE and REMOVABLE hour meter from your Honda EU2000i inverter series portable generator. The key to long generator life is precise service intervals where the oil, fuel and air cleaners are regularly cleaned of any contaminants that are built up. My video isn't nearly as snazzy as some others that have modified their gen sets with a permanent hour meter. I chose to use a solution that is not invasive to the housing of the generator. I try to keep all my power equipment in like new condition and that includes the case as well. I hate the idea of drilling holes or cutting out notches in the casing just to put something so simple in. Instead I would much rather use something that can be removed at a later date that isn't at all intrusive to the unit.
The hour meter I am using is a hardline sealed hour/rpm meter. The meter is designed to last 10 years so I think that is plenty of life for my purposes. At a cost of about $30 that's cheap insurance for me to know when I should service my unit.
This procedure is technically going to be the same for ANY generator. As long as you can sensing wire around the spark plug wire this meter will work.
Hope you enjoy my video.
