           Any one looking for an hour meter that runs off you spark plug, check Ebay # 4349110750.

The seller has 10 left at  $6.99 each, plus $2.50 shipping.

 If you buy more than 1 shipping is 2.50 + 1.50 for each additional.

Ends in 6 hours + !

I bought 2.                                                            Fred

Fred,

Why are there two wires for this model hour meter,  I thought they only require one wire that works off the spark plug lead? Is the second wire for a backlight feature?  Thank you.

 Rich,

           The big jagged semi connector goes on the plug. The second wire I assume goes to ground!!

Will find out  when I receive mine and will let you know.

Received my 2 hour meters  today. 

The hour meter is called, "Maintenance Minder", made by Briggs and  Stratton.

I installed it in 5 minutes. started her up, timed it with a stop watch, at 6 minutes, time read 1/10. Right on!

Red wire wraps around sparkplug wire 4 times, other wire (white) goes to engine as a ground.

Pecanwill, check out:   www.becoparts.com, they have the timers for $11.95 each plus shipping

Yea i just couldnt pass it up for that price.

Hello all -- I was home today and hooked up my Maintenance Minder Hour Meter. Nothing......Looks as if the battery might be dead. I'm going to call the vendor tomorrow, but generally, if ya wrap the lead around the plug wire, and ground the other lead, I figure it should work.

Do these things have a battery?

What is a good choice if you want to tune the governor for optimal RPM's? Or can you use automtive equipment?
