Use this Hour/Tach Meter to keep track of your total time on machine. Plan oil changes, valve services, clutch service, chassis lubrication, and other maintenance schedules. It's ideal for use with lawn and garden equipment, pressure washers, generators, small engine, marine outboards, dirt bikes, PWCs, ATVs/UTVs or any 2/4 stroke engines up to two cylinders.

Made in the USA.

Review: What a great product! Simple installation and works great. - Great product! I installed this on my Suzuki DF 2.5 single cylinder, 4 cycle outboard motor so I could monitor the rpms and hours for the engine break-in protocol and later to track hours for routine maintenance intervals. I had done a lot of research and found that there are some other products out there that are difficult to install and/or inaccurate, but this Hardline product was a very simple and secure installation and is accurate. There was no adjustment required at all- I installed it and it worked. Now I can run my engine by rpm rather than guessing by half-throttle, quarter-throttle etc. and don't have to guess how many hours are on the engine for maintenance. And, the price is right. Highly recommend. In addition, Hardline advised when I asked that you can use regular 18 gauge wire of 10, 15 ft if you need to place the device further away from the engine you are monitoring. I plan to do this with my small outboard so I can monitor it more comfortably as I go through the engine break in procedure with progressive rpms on my new 2.5 hp outboard.
Review: Solid unit that appears to work. - So far, so good. I added this to a 37 ton wood splitter that has a crx 420 4 stroke motor on it. I mounted it on the plastic near the air filter, being careful not to drill into the air intake line. The RPMs were double what they should have been at idle but holding the button while in rpm mode fixed that to get to correct mode. I ran the engine for a bit to see the hour meter read 0.1. Seems good. Time will tell to see longevity. The first package I ordered only had the display unit. I returned that and got a package with display unit, sensor wire and zip tie. I cut down the sensor wire to suit my needs as the run was not very long.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does this only work for 2 cylinders?**
A: It works in three modes for the spark 1P1R (1 pulse of electric power thru the plug wire for every 1 revolution of the crank) ie… a two stroke motor, fires on every crank revolution… 1P2R (1 pulse of electric power thru the plug wire for every 2 rotations of the crankshaft) ie… a four stroke engine… and… 2P1R (2 pulses of electric power thru the plug wire for every 1 rotation of the crankshaft) ie… multi -spark ignition (usually CDI ignitions that require a battery to operate) 2 stroke… lastly, the hour meter doesn’t care how many rpm or strokes or pulses, it is just a cumulative timer of how long the tach has been receiving a spark signals off of the plug wire… number of cylinders doesn’t matter because all internal combustion engines will fire all cylinders in either 1 (2 strokes) or 2 (4 stroke) rotations of the crank shaft no matter what the layout is (radial, inline, V, horizontal opposing)…

**Q: Hour/ tach meter recommendations for a 3 cylinder motor?**
A: You need the HR-8062-2 model, up to 8 cylinder engines..

**Q: How is this one-wire tach different from others that have black, red & black wires? I want to use one to tune a mower, tiller & chainsaw.**
A: Just wrap the wire around the spark plug wire and that’s it, this tach comes with instructions how to calibrate it for one or two cylinders.

**Q: I purchased this. says for 4 stroke engines.has to be attached near coil. i cant to that. will it still work on my champion 3500 generator?**
A: Yes I have one on my champion generator works great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Might want to mount facing up towards the sky on a portable generator.
*by M***N on March 24, 2025*

This unit is easy to install and appears to work well. I tested it together using another RPM measuring device and it appears to be accurate. The two-sided tape that is provided is very, very, very strong, so plan out where you want to put the device well before you actually stick it onto your portable generator. This is because it may be very difficult to remove once you stick down the two sided tape. If I had to affix/position this again, in hindsight, I would opt to have the screen on top of the generator with the display screen facing up towards the sky. It's very awkward to crouch down to see the display on the device if you mount it on the side of the generator. So, in hindsight I would have picked a spot on top of the generator so that the screen faces directly up so that you don't have to bend down to read the screen.
