Abstract
The invention relates to a generating unit driven by a combustion engine. Control of the engine speed is carried out in a known manner via a mechanical control device which controls a throttle valve in the carburetor system of the engine. In case of a failure of the mechanical control device and, consequently, in case of a change in the engine speed outside a predetermined range, an electronic control system takes over to activate a firing element of the engine and control the engine speed, independently from the mechanical control system, in such a way that the engine speed is maintained within the predetermined range.
