A simple Arduino based rev limiter built for a lawn mower.

Table of Contents
This is a simple rev limiter for a motor. This was built and tested with a 16HP Briggs & Stratton single cylinder engine. The pulses from the alternator are used to determine the RPM of the engine and the magneto bypass is grounded to cut the ignition. A redline can be set in code or with a potentiometer. The application for this is a flame kit for a lawn mower. The rev limiter can cut the ignition at high RPMs to allow unburnt fuel to travel out the exhaust. If a spark plug is installed at the end of the tail pipe, this unburnt fuel can be ignited, creating flames out the exhuast.
