A lot of folks here on the Truck camper forum have generators so I thought I would share my hour meter installation for anyone thats interested. Here is a link to one place you can get the meter. I use my meter to help remind me when to do required maintenance.
I have a Honda 2000 and installed my meter here
here's a better shot of the meter
I made a small notch in the cover/panel (not seen in photo) so the wires do not get crushed/worn. The wires go in and the ground wire (White) is attached to a bolt on the left
and the red wire is fished across and wound around the spark plug wire on the other side of the generator
here's the installation instruction sheet

That's a pretty nice little hour meter Spott! Decent price too. I have a few generators and may order some. Does it have a little replaceable battery, like a watch battery?

that is cheap, I think the last one I looked at with a the link provided here on the forum was in the neighbor hood of $45 per unit. Now I think I will put one on all my stuff. Oh boy this is going to add up fast. Edit, I just came off the site you gave, I was looking around and they had fuel filters and air filters and lawn mower blades and I forget what else bu they were half of what Sears is selling that stuff for. I was right, It cost me dearly, I stocked up on parts for my riding lawn mower.

Phil I looked at it and it appears to be sealed, I'm sure when the battery goes bad I'll pry it open and see if I can change it. Mine is a couple of years old and still going strong so far.

Looks good, Bruce. They don't have a battery, they work off of inductance (at least my tach/hour meter does (see pic)). See SenDEC tach/hour meter also. Later, Dave.

Nice setup Spott. If I ever replace my lost/stolen Honda, I'll start it off right.
