These Frienda hour meters use an inductive pickup that senses ignition pulses, so they run without an internal battery and mount easily to engine wiring. Built with epoxy-encased ABS, they resist water and shocks and record long-term usage statistics to inform preventative maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these hour meters install on small engines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward and designed for DIY-fitment. The inductive wire wraps around the spark plug lead; the meter is then secured with supplied screws or cable ties.
