Abstract: Silica powder is added to a primary mixture consisting of alumina powder and graphite powder, and is mixed therewith. A binder is added to the resultant secondary mixture and is well mixed therewith. The mixture thus obtained is granulated. The granulated product is placed in a rubber mold, and pressure is applied uniformly thereto to mold it. The molded product is fired but not sintered at a temperature between 850.degree. and 950.degree. C., preferably 900.degree. C., which allows unreacted alumina and silica to remain in the final fired-product. Thus, a nozzle consisting of a fired body having a cavity volume index (the sum of the volume of open and closed pores/the volume of the fired body) of 0.15-0.25 including 6-60% of closed pores therein is manufactured.

The electrical current generator is housed within a casing separatedly provided from an engine unit housing an engine. A power transmission means connecting between an output shaft of the engine and a rotary shaft of the generator is provided within a confined space outside of the engine unit. The confined space is defined by a crank casing, a rising flange integrally provided to the crank casing and a cover member. The power transmission means includes a first pulley mounted on one end of the output shaft of the engine, a second pulley mounted on one end of the rotary shaft and a V-belt mounted between the first and second pulleys. The rotation speed ratio of the rotary shaft to the output shaft is changeable in response to the rotation speed of the output shaft.
