Engine Hour Meter runs with engine off

Yahoo Message Number: 57427
Hi Folks,

With the ignition on, the subject meter runs whether the engine is running or not. Just an observation after hearing the clicking from the Meter, this post is not intended for any other reason. If yours operates differently, please email me directly using the envelope icon below my name. I am adding a relay picking up the ground from the oil pressure switch which has a wire going to the boost rocker switch in the left side panel so the Meter operates only when the engine is running. I know it will only subtract a few hours.

Some hr. meters do not draw current all the time, they draw a current that winds them, sort of, and will run until the clock runs down and if no current is available, then stop. Just an observation on how some work.
