Re: Magneto voltage limiter
The challenge with LEDs is that to take advantage of both positive and negative half cycles, a full rectifier is necessary. And a full wave rectifier would create a new ground separated from the chassis leading to cut the regular ground (chassis) connection from the concerned pin of the LED and bringing a new wire from the rectifier's ground.
Why a huge capacitor? Thermal inertia of incandescent lamp should smoothen any low rev flickering.
Agree. Also the reverse voltage between base and emitter of the transistors shall not exceed the maximum ratings value. A protection diode could avoid it.
That could be some great improvement!

Would need a huge capacitor if he's insisting on incandescent
The only thing I'm a bit concerned about is the reverse breakdown
and add a digital speedo!
