Perhaps I am wrong but the spark plug firing twice as often may cause the "hour" meter to advance faster than at the lowest speed?
The reason for the hour meter is to better judge when an oil change is due? Yes? No? (maybe?).
That's why I got one that advances via the spark plug. At least I hope it does.... Heck I have NO idea. lol

Hi,
That would be fine for a constant speed generator--but for the inverter generators with the eco switch on, the spark plug method is perhaps more useful. JaxDad wrote:
Get a grease pencil, put a little line on the generator each time you refill it.
Each tank full of gas represents X hours of runtime multiplied by the number of hash marks.
Very simple, very accurate.
Don, I’m confused, hours based on a meter will be counting idle hours the same as WOT hours. How is that different than fuel consumption which also counts (presumably the same) blend of ‘eco time’ and WOT?
