Claim Text:
1. A method for regulating the power delivered by a reciprocating engine comprising: defining a value of a constant time interval T defining values of an upper threshold for the engine RPM and an upper threshold for a percentage opening of a throttle valve of said engine; measuring for each engine cycle, during an operation period of said engine, a value of the engine RPM at a predefined angular position of a crankshaft of the engine in a specific stroke of said engine cycle, said angular position being constant for all engine cycles; measuring for each of a plurality of consecutive time intervals T calculating, during the operation period of the engine, at the final instant of each of the plurality of consecutive time intervals T checking at the final instant of each of the plurality of consecutive time intervals T if a checked activation value X* differs from zero for a given time interval T if the checked activation value X* for the given time interval T
