Abstract: Herein is disclosed a snowmobile configured to start in response to a remote-start signal. One embodiment of the invention includes a snowmobile outfitted with a remote starting system. The remote starting system, itself, includes a remote starting activation switch that transmits a radio frequency signal to a remote starter module to initiate starting of an engine within the snowmobile. The remote starter module receives the radio frequency signal from the remote starting activation switch and, in response to receiving the radio frequency signal, initiates closure of a switch interposed between a battery and a starter motor, thereby causing the starter motor to crank and start the engine of the snowmobile. The engine may be shut off by the remote starting system if the engine RPM exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: An idle detector and safety apparatus for use in an internal combustion engine includes a magnet which is mounted to the carburetor piston valve and a magnetically actuatable switch positioned outside of the carburetor body. A sensor is also provided to indicate throttle position. When the throttle sensor indicates the throttle is in an idle position, a circuit checks the status of the magnetically actuatable switch. If the switch indicates that the piston valve is in the idle position as is proper, engine ignition is allowed to continue. If the switch indicates that the piston valve is improperly in a high speed position, engine ignition is caused to be interrupted. As a result, the engine is prevented from going into an uncontrolled, runaway condition should the piston valve become misplaced.
