Replacement for generator hour meter
The hour meter for my generator has died. It is a Hobbs LCD 12-48VDC meter that mounts on the dash. My Bounder is 10 or 11 years old and I can't find a replacement. Does anyone know the correct part ...

Is your hour meter digital or mechanical? If it's digital it may just be in need of a battery. Many of the digital meters need a backup battery to keep the display and memory alive. I have several on machines that use this feature. The battery supplied with the meter usually has about a 10 year life.
I recently had to change the batteries in 2 different meters. The batteries have to be removed and replaced within 15 seconds for the meter to retain it's memory. It isn't difficult to do if you have everything in place before starting. Unfortunately if the battery goes dead, or the meter is unpowered for more than 15 seconds the meter will restart with 0 hours on the display once the battery is replaced.
