ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for limiting the rotational speed of an internal combustion engine by monitoring the time interval between ignition impulses produced when a breaker switch in the primary circuit of the ignition coil opens. A pair of sequentially operable timers are started for each ignition pulse with the second time interval enabling a delay means coupled between the source of pulses and a control gate of a controlled switch connected across the breaker switch through an impedance. When a following pulse occurs during the second time interval, indicating a limiting rotational speed, the slightly delayed pulse triggers the controlled switch and the ignition pulse is shunted through the impedance with the resulting secondary voltage in the ignition coil being insufficient to cause a spark, thereby limiting the speed of the engine.
