Honda HRN216 Hour Meter Install
Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому
Installing an hour meter to any small engine is a good idea as it lets you know when to do service in order to keep the warrantee valid. This meter also has a built-in tachometer which I find very useful to monitor the state of the motor while in use. The mower that I installed it on is a Honda HRN-216PKCA purchased new in 2022.

      I have gone through several tires in the 5 years that I have been using these tire pressure sensors and I have never needed to re-balance my wheels. But I guess there is nothing wrong with doing it if you want to. The sensors are 7.6 grams so you can add that amount to the opposite side if you wish.

    Great video! But when I try to put the cruise in diagnostic mode the dash light stays on after I release both buttons. (3:03 into the video). I can turn it off, but no other action affects the dash light. Can you tell me what is causing this? Thank you.

    • @PaulPomerleau
      @PaulPomerleau 15 днів тому

      Did you disconnect your 2 brake switches and the throttle switch to see if it is caused by one of those? Also check your CHASSIS fuse loacated beside the turn signal fuse. Check it with a meter, not by eye. After that you will have to meter each of the wires on the main cruise connector under the seat.

      @@PaulPomerleau Checked everything you said, but the green light wouldn't go off. Finally, I just started unhooking stuff, beginning with my aftermarket LED running/brake indicator lights. BINGO! Although the lights worked properly, there was evidently a malfunction in the control box itself. New box installed and the problem is solved. The reason I didn't immediately find this is because the short was in the box and not contingent upon the power switch being on or off. Only when completely unhooked from the power source did it change. Thank you so much for your videos and you kind willingness to help others. May God bless you and yours'.

      I am from Canada and things are expensive here. Back in the day, these were a $400 item. Today, if I needed one, I would probably only go as high as $200 for a new one, before looking for something else. But that is just my opinion.

      @PaulPomerleau Місяць тому

      That is a personal choice. I don't normally ride at night, but when I go into a dark underground parking area, I find the Beacon light to be very dim. For me I would not like it at night and would go with something else like a bright white halogen bulb for the low beam and an equivalent temperature LED for the high beam, because LED's are faster to light than halogens when you need your high beams quickly. But again, it's a personal choice.

      If your O2 sensors have 4 wires, (I think they are only on 2015 and later models). 2 of wires will be for heaters which is monitored by the ECU and will throw a light if not detected. You will either have to disconnect the single black sensor wire from the harness and leave the heater wires alone, or unplug the sensor all together and replace with a bypass plug which is available online. Hope this helps.

    My CubCadet LT46 has an elapsed time meter to indicate when to do what. With a full pressure oil system and filter, it greatly improves the oil's service life and keeps the engine internals clean. For powered lawn/generator equipment, my gear receives oil changes at the end of the season to have a fresh oil installed for storage. BUT, all things considered, spend the whopping 5-7 bucks per quart for Valvoline 10W-30 FULL SYNTHETIC, (OR 24 dollars for FIVE QUARTS), and change yearly.... Don't be so ^nal that you fret for being 4/10 of an hour over the "schedule".... Once a year - Just do it....

    Didn't work. Got 5/8" ID and 3/4" OD clear tubing about same length as in video. It was a tight fit to get it into the tank once past the opening and would only go in toward right and rear of tank. Wouldn't go into tank and other way. It got about 1/2 gallon out and stopped. The tank (4.5 gallons) was completely full, having filled it to the rim for winter storage - hasn't been de-winterized/ridden yet. Tried everything, including putting bike up straight, not on side stand. No luck. I can see gas looking toward left inside tank but can't access it with tube. Will try thinner tube tomorrow or just take tank off with gas left in it - it's an '09 Sportster and has gas valve that shuts off gas flow automatically if detach gas line. Good thing! If anyone has any ideas about what's going on or any suggestions it would be most welcome. Thanks
