Abstract: A carburetor electronic control system includes: transmission devices coupled to valves for opening and closing an intake path of a carburetor; electric motors that make the valves open and close via the transmission devices; and an electronic control unit for controlling the operation of the electric motors. The interior of a casing joined to one side face of the carburetor is divided by a partition plate into a transmission chamber on the carburetor side and a drive chamber on the opposite side. The transmission devices and the electric motors are housed and held in the transmission chamber and the drive chamber, respectively. Therefore, the transmission devices, the electric actuators, and the electronic control unit can be housed in a common casing, thereby reducing the dimensions of the carburetor electronic control system.

Abstract: A valve operating system includes: a decompression cam member that is provided on a camshaft, and moves between an operative position C where an exhaust tappet is operated in a valve opening direction in a compression stroke and an inoperative position D where the exhaust tappet is released; an exhaust gas recirculation cam member that is provided on the camshaft, and moves between an inoperative position F where the exhaust tappet is released and an operative position G where the exhaust tappet is operated in a valve opening direction in an intake stroke of the engine; and a common centrifugal mechanism that is driven by the camshaft to operate the decompression cam member to the operative position C in a starting rotation region of the engine and to the inoperative position D after the starting, and operate the exhaust gas recirculation cam member to the inoperative position F in a low speed operation region of the engine and to the operative position G in a high-speed operation region.
