Abstract

Disclosed is an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas recirculation system. The engine is provided with an exhaust gas recirculation control valve device, a modulator valve device and a vacuum control valve device. The exhaust gas recirculation control valve device communicates an exhaust passage of the engine with an intake passage of the engine and is provided with a diaphragm chamber, partitioned by a diaphragm and communicating with a first port of a carburetor and a constant pressure chamber, partitioned by a valve body which is actuated by the diaphragm. The modulator valve device is provided with an upper diaphragm chamber, which is communicated with a second port disposed at a position nearer to a venturi portion of the carburetor than the first port and communicated with the vacuum control valve device. An orifice is disposed between a first communicating pipe, which communicates the first port with the diaphragm chamber of the exhaust gas recirculation control valve device, and another communicating pipe, which is communicated with a port disposed upstream of the first port.
