The hour-meter is likely just a re-triggerable one-shot that counts up whenever it detects the hash from the spark-plug wire, and resets when you disconnect the power.
Reason for the coarse resolution is that engine maintenance schedules are usually "every XX hours" and not every "XX*60 minutes"
The rightmost, fractional digit is a bit of spurious-precision.
None of this helps you, though: can you generate some high-voltage AC hash to trigger it?
