Please help settle an argument.<br />What year did they start putting a rev limiter or governor's on marine engines?<br />And is there a rev limiter on fuel injection engines?

Re: Rev limiter

Some i/o ignitions won't let you rev too high.Outboards have been trying to control this since the 50's.<br />DHP
