Abstract

Engine starting device which, if engine temperature is at a level such that vaporized fuel may be present in a carburetor while an engine is stopped, causes a throttle valve to open a certain amount when the cranking motor is actuated, whereby such vaporized fuel is rapidly evacuated and an air-fuel mixture having the correct air-fuel ratio to permit rapid starting is supplied to the engine.
