Took a little while to figure out why after switching the thermostat on and off, the hourmeter read 6 hours.  Duh, its a counter, not an hourmeter.   The saga continues.

More proof that 1890's equipment does not want to be modernized.  :-)

The good news is this though!

If you now get an hour meter you can see how many times your unit cycles in an hour. I would move the counter so it counts how often the unit fires and see if you are short cycling.
