Hour meter installation
I want to install an hour meter on my 2003 EZGO. Anyone have a wiring diagram or instructions on where to connect. Obviously I only want it to run when the engine is running and not just with the key on. Thanks

Re: Hour meter installation
This is the one I fitted to my cart. It is a tachometer and a hours run meter. It is a real snal to install and yes it only registers when the engine is running

Re: Hour meter installation
Actually I just reread your question, it looks like you already have one and need to know how to wire it, sorry.

Re: Hour meter installation
Dave thanks for the info anyway. Thanks to your info I just bought one off eBay. The installation seems easy enough, just wrap a wire around a spark plug wire. Did you do the camo decal on you cart? If you did where did you buy it?
Thanks |

Re: Hour meter installation
Hey I'm glad that worked out for you. I am very pleased with mine. I removed my governor and now I can keep it below 4000 rpm and I know how many hours I have on it since the rebuild. You can also set it for service intervals so you know when to change the oil.
Thanks for noticing the body wrap. I found this cart abandoned in the woods. It had been driven until the engine seized and then beaten to death with a hammer. I managed to get it sraightened and filled but I realised that if I sprayed it gloss there were still lots of ripples and dings that would really stand out. It seemed to me that a camo theme would hide a multitude of sins and it worked out for me. Here is a link to the product http://www.everythingcarts.com/c-79-...5&ddlOrderBy=7 All the best Dave |

Re: Hour meter installation
I purchased the same tach./hour meter. When installing it, do you have to fasten the wire that gets wraped around the spark plug wire? I'm thinking heat shrink tubing, tie wrap, or electrical tape.

Re: Hour meter installation
I just put three loops around the plug wire and then poked the end under the first loop and pulled it tight. Of course a piece of electrical tape will not hurt either

You can also get it from here $59.99 for 4x5 sheets. 2, 40 sq ft would be 120 But he's not a site sponsor but a hunting gun shop |

Re: Hour meter installation
Does the body wrap go over rust or do you have to sand it down to metal?
