Why did my hobbs hour meter on my generator go from 486.0 to 5.6?? There is no method to change the display. Am I going crazy?/ ???
For what ever reason it picked up the automatic reset mode I had one do that before
good luck
Is it possible to 'un-reset' it?
What triggers an 'automatic reset' ?
This is another good reason to keep a log book with notes about the condition & readings of the machinery before & after each trip.
It'd be hard to keep up with the service on the unit if it resets & you don't catch it.

How can you go somewhere if you're already there? ;D ;D ;D
Howdy neighbor!
They are not supposed to reset till 10,000 hrs but like all electronics they have a mind of their own throw it way a buy a new one for 20 bucks
good luck
what would cause my meter to run 25 % faster?
Your frequency is off and your over speed is not working
Thanks all!! 8)
Kyle, I've been here for a while now ;D
and how would i fix that? this unit shows only 100 hours total.
Check your RPM's
John,
When something like this happens with aircraft we just make a note in the maintenance log and go ahead. However, we use mostly mechanical hobbs working on an oil pressure switch so they don't do that reset act. However, when they have to be replaced, we just use the maintenance log system.
