I used a Yamaha Hour meter that uses an inductive pick up by winding its
pickup wire around the spark plug wire.
So when ever the Gen is running its showing me RPM. When the Gen is shut off it shows total hours run At 10 hours the unit starts flash the display {Yamaha 1st service interval}
Thereafter it runs 50 hours before it flashes the display indicating service time again.
So far so good, I've not needed it for back-up power as yet so I only run it while I'm "playing" with it & to make sure it runs once or twice a month.
