found a digital RPM/Hour Meter there that will fit the bill nicely.[$34 out the door with his discount]
While the gen is running it displays the engine RPM's when you shut down it diplays the hours run.
It is factory pre-programed by Yamaha to alert at 10 hours & there after every 50 hours for service intervals.
For anyone interested it's Yamaha Part #ENG-METER-4C-02.
You can screw it on the the front panel with a couple of supplied self tapping screws OR you can attach it with a supplied velcro strip [that's me].
You wrap the supplied wire around your spark plug wire 4-5 time and secure it with a supplied cable tie.

I adjusted the governor speed on my generator and got a much better voltage. Cycles were a little under 60 before adjusting and now show up as 62 or 63 hz. at 120-125 volts no load. Under AC load from my RV voltage stays well above 110. It was 95 to 100 here today and my RV was in full sun and the compressor was kicking off and on. It's an old unit so probably needs serviced or replaced(yech).
A lesson I am learning is that all the plugs you find are sorry excuses for electrical plugs. The pigtail I bought to adapt to my camper plug has huge gaps in the blades on the female end.(Brand new adapter. I made some quick bending adjustments but I know the real answer is to go buy good components and make up my own.
