I installed one of these on my HRX217 when it was new in 2017. It now has 89.9 hours on it. I love it! Makes timing of maintenance a breeze! Thanks for confirming that I’m not crazy!

As a member of the Tribe installed the hour meter. Having watched this YouTube video, winding 6 times around the spark plug wire, two zip ties duck tape a gathering at the last tab more duck tape. With a scratch awl I marked location for the screws and drilled 1/16 holes. But I stopped took the wire and imbedded it in the slot of the meter, then I tightened the screws to the deck. That saved me from reverse punching with a stubby.

Thanks for you videos

I’ve got a 10 year old Honda bagger it’s still going strong . I change the oil every year . Who knows how many hours are on it ? I really don’t think it matters?

👍👍👍👍👍👍😊
Aside from cost.
IMO. Manufacturers of small engines should have an hour meter fitted at the factory during manufacturing/assembly.

[michaelmercier]

What happens to the hours counted display when you change the battery? Does it reset to zero or keep the accumulated hours intact and keep counting forward?

[jasonjensen]

I might of missed something. I didn’t see you connect that wire to anything. What is the purpose of the wire?

[joshsmith]

Hey I know it’s a bit unrelated but I know you say to do a oil change after 30 minutes, I did that and was wondering when I should do it next and then how often after that?

[darrenk]

If you guys are scared about drilling into ur new mower like I was I used outdoor rated double sided tape. Worked just fine so far.

[philliphall]

I fool my son-in-law, put one under tank, two years ask how many hours before oil change, he said only 40 hours, meter 173

[mrdobalina]

Many have a feature that allows you to change the initial hour meter which means if the battery goes dead you can replace the battery without losing your runtime numbers. Of course you need to know what they were roughly before the battery died.

Nice video working with a scooter killed the motor and update for gx 50 cost more then the scooter

[webeasesolutions]

So how does that cable work? It just senses when electricity is running to the spark plug through a highly insulated cable?

[haydenshores]

You can cut the wire right it's just a long wire right

[Outdoorpower-equipment]

I saw this video and I got a hour meter and I did the 5 hour oil change

[davecharvella]

👍👍 Question: is that slot on the meter the "pickup" location?

[mikegrappone]

Great review - I still use my 1988 Toro push mower with synthetic 10W30 - I'll add an hour meter!

[Reesebomb_]

Thanks for the help! Hooked up and ready to go! 👍🏼

Just installed the NKTECH on my new Honda HRN and did the 30 minute oil change. Thank you for making these videos! Its my first brand new mower. Ive had hand me downs for the last 40 years of my life and I want to make sure I treat this one right. Already got extra oil, spark plugs, filters and sharpening kit, all ready for future maintenance.

Ever hear of two sided tape? Then you dont have to drill into your new mower.
