In a nutshell is basically cuts power to some cylinders to prevent damage to your engine,and limits you to I think 3000 RPMS. What triggers it? Lets say if your engine overheats it will be activated. |

The 'S.L' stands for 'speed limiter'. Is activated by alarm switches (temp, No-oil, fuel vacuum)that shorts out a circuit in the power-pack and limits max rpm to about 2500rpm by cutting ignition pulses to random cylinders. The low-oil alarm is not critical for engine safety, and the circuit to the power-pack is blocked with a diode to prevent SLOW to be activated. |
