Honda EU 2000 i Tachometer

Would like to add a hr meter/tach to my little Honda for oil change intervals, and bragging rights one day. Any brand suggestions/experience?

    There are battery powered hour meters that just connect capacitively to a spark plug wire. John Deere sells one and they are pretty cheap. No tachometer function though. Either it sees the engine as running or not running.

    I have used several of these over the years on my outboard motor, generator, motocross bike etc. No problems with them, I have only used the hour meter type. The link below is one with the tach/hr meter, and they have several different ones on that site.
