5.0 out of 5 stars Great item to keep track of hours, November 25, 2008

This review is from: Briggs & Stratton Maintenance Minder Hour Meter 5081H (Lawn & Patio)

I bought two put one on Honda generator the other on wood splitter. On the generator it alows me to keep track of how long I can run on tank of gas and how much time I put on generator while camping so I know when to change oil. It was really suprising the hours put on during my 8 day trip, 40 hours need to change oil at 50 per manual. easy to install one wire to ground other wire wrap around spark plug wire

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as described but ..., November 18, 2009

I have a few of these and they are well constructed and is easy to install. The problem I eventually had was the battery died. Having a LCD display, when the battery dies the readout goes blank and you do not know how many hours have lapsed since it was installed so you should check the reading periodically so that you at least have a rough idea of usage when the battery dies. It really bugged me to have to buy a new one just because the battery died so I "dremeled" it open and found that the 3v 2430 watch battery is replaceable. The battery is about $4.29 in most chain drugstores. Opening it up also allowed me to see how well
constructed it is.

This review is from: Briggs & Stratton Maintenance Minder Hour Meter 5081H (Lawn & Patio)

I have one of these on the motor of my Craftsman 42" Deck Lawn Tractor and it works fine. All you have to do is wrap one wire around the spark plug wire and another gets attached to pretty much any uncoated screw/bolt on the equipment to ground it and it works. It does stay on all the time so the battery will have to be replaced at some point, but it's only a little number display so it can't use that much power. I'd definitely recommend it for any equipment that requires engine maintenance but doesn't come with an hourmeter or an odometer.
