Estimating the term…
A kill switch assembly for an internal combustion engine may include a housing, a first terminal carried by the housing and connected to a ground wire, a second terminal carried by the housing and connected to an engine microcontroller communication wire, and a kill switch. The kill switch may be carried by the housing, electrically connected to the first and second terminals, and manually operable by an operator to change the state of the electric switch to provide an engine stop signal to the engine microcontroller. The assembly may also include an electronic circuit carried by the housing, connected to the first and second terminals, and through the wires communicating with the engine microcontroller.
A kill switch assembly for an internal combustion engine with an engine microcontroller comprising:
A kill switch assembly for an internal combustion engine with an engine microcontroller comprising:
A speed regulating circuit in communication with an ignition circuit having a primary coil coupled to an ignition member to cause an ignition event within an engine, the speed regulating circuit arranged to selectively prevent energy from the primary coil from being discharged to the ignition member to selectively prevent an ignition event, wherein the speed regulating circuit includes a bidirectional or bilateral triode thyristor having an anode coupled to the primary coil and an anode coupled to ground, and an input gate that may be selectively actuated so that energy received at the triode thyristor from the primary coil PRI is routed to ground thereby inhibiting or preventing transfer of energy from the primary coil to the ignition member.
