A system and method selectively reduce power of an engine having at least one piston movable in a cylinder and an exhaust port includes providing an exhaust valve in communication with the exhaust port of the engine. The exhaust valve has an adjustable position to change an effective size of the exhaust port. The system and method also include sensing a condition likely to cause damage to the piston of the engine and adjusting a position of the exhaust valve to reduce a size of the exhaust port in response to sensing the condition likely to cause damage to the piston of the engine, thereby limiting power of the engine.

1. A method for selectively reducing power of a two-stroke engine having at least one piston movable in a cylinder and an exhaust port, the method comprising: providing an exhaust valve in communication with the exhaust port of the engine, the exhaust valve having an adjustable position to change an effective size of the exhaust port;sensing a condition likely to cause damage to the piston of the engine;signaling the condition likely to cause damage to the piston of the engine; andadjusting a state position of the exhaust valve to reduce a size of the exhaust port in response to sensing the condition likely to cause damage to the piston of the engine, thereby limiting power of the engine, by: measuring fault events at a manifold pressure sensor, a detonation sensor, a valve position sensor, an exhaust temperature sensor, and an engine water temperature sensor;adjusting, selectively, a position of the exhaust valve to one of a plurality of incremental positions between an up state position, at least one middle state position, and a down state position to fine tune the effective size of the exhaust port and limit the power of the engine, and the at least one middle state position is located between the up state position and the down state position;evaluating a severity of the sensed condition;adjusting the state position of the exhaust valve if the severity of the sensed condition exceeds a predetermined severity threshold;incrementally adjusting the position of the exhaust valve without changing a current state position of the exhaust valve if the severity of the sensed condition is below the predetermined severity threshold; anddetermining whether a first predetermined number of fault events occur within a first predetermined time period and adjusting the state position of the exhaust valve to reduce the size of the exhaust port if the first predetermined number of fault events occur within the first predetermined time period, whereinincrementally adjusting the position of the exhaust valve includes determining whether a second predetermined number of fault events occur within a second predetermined time period and incrementally adjusting the state position of the exhaust valve without changing the current state position of the exhaust valve if the second predetermined number of fault events occur within the second predetermined time period. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensed condition is an engine fault condition. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensed condition is an engine temperature above a predetermined overheated temperature threshold. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensed condition is an engine temperature below a predetermined cold temperature threshold. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting the state position of the exhaust valve includes selectively changing the state position of the exhaust valve relative to the exhaust port between the up state position in which the exhaust port is fully open and the down state position in which the exhaust port is restricted to reduce the power of the engine. 6. A two-stroke engine comprising: at least one piston movable in a cylinder;an inlet port;an exhaust port;an exhaust valve in communication with the exhaust port, the exhaust valve having an adjustable position to change an effective size of the exhaust port;a manifold pressure sensor, a detonation sensor, a valve position sensor, an exhaust temperature sensor, and an engine water temperature sensor each configured to sense a condition likely to cause damage to the piston of the engine; andan engine control unit coupled to the sensor, the engine control unit being configured to: adjust a state position of the exhaust valve to reduce a size of the exhaust port in response to sensing the condition likely to cause damage to the piston of the engine;adjust the state position of the exhaust valve by selectively changing a position of the exhaust valve relative to the exhaust port between an up state position in which the exhaust port is fully open, a down state position in which the exhaust port is restricted to reduce the power of the engine, and at least one middle state position located between the up state position and the down state position;adjust the exhaust valve to one of a plurality of incremental positions between the up state position, the at least one middle state position, and the down state position to fine tune the effective size of the exhaust port and limit the power of the engine;evaluate a severity of the sensed condition;adjust the state position of the exhaust valve if the severity of the sensed condition exceeds a predetermined severity threshold;incrementally adjust the position of the exhaust valve without changing a current state position of the exhaust valve if the severity of the sensed condition is below the predetermined severity threshold;determine whether a first predetermined number of fault events occur within a first predetermined time period and adjust the state position of the exhaust valve to reduce the size of the exhaust port if the first predetermined number of fault events occur within the first predetermined time period; anddetermine whether a second predetermined number of fault events occur within a second predetermined time period and incrementally adjust the state position of the exhaust valve without changing the current state position of the exhaust valve if the second predetermined number of fault events occur within the second predetermined time period. 7. The engine of claim 6, wherein the sensor senses one of an engine fault condition, an engine temperature above a predetermined overheated temperature threshold, and an engine temperature below a predetermined cold temperature threshold.
