If the alternator isn't developing power, and the diode bridge in the regulator will keep it from feeding back from the battery, the hour meter doesn't run. You can see the wiring instructions here; http://www.westach.com/instructions/2C10-2.jpg Don't feel like the Lone Ranger here Damien, my Kolb Mk III had a Honeywell hour meter. During a rebuild of the aircraft when I thought I had the original electrical system disabled I discovered that a wire I thought had no power drove the hour meter until the battery was completely discharged. I ran it on a bench power supply while I was working on the aircraft until it ran through all it's digits and got back to where it should be. After all that I discovered the Westach gauge and bought it. Rick Girard On Sun, Jun 24, 2012 at 3:38 PM, FLYaDIVE wrote: > Richard: > > Yes, it does help. I did find the HOURMETER on ACS.

The fly wheel helps the timing. They are almost a plug and ply except for connecting two wires from the 6 pin plug to your starter solenoid. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
