The hour meter is (at least on my installation, and the ones I've seen) just wired in parallel with the red pilot light on the remote panel. If the wire to them is open, neither one would work. If the pilot light illuminates when the generator is operating, the problem should be very easy to find on the generator control panel--or else it's the hour meter itself that's broken.
There are four wires to the remote panel, as I recall: one common, one to the "start" side of the switch (which connects to common when the switch is pressed), one to the "stop" side of the switch, and one to power the indicator light and hour meter. I don't offhand remember for certain if the common was ground or +12V, but I suspect it's chassis ground. At any rate, if the start and stop switch works, the common is obviously OK.
If the hour meter is on the generator itself, I would guess it's wired similarly, but perhaps not.
