Abstract

An internal combustion engine comprises a first raised portion formed on the inner wall of the cylinder head, a second raised portion formed on the top face of the piston at a position opposite to the first raised portion with respect to the axis of the piston, and a third raised portion formed on the inner wall of the cylinder head above the second raised portion. A first flat squish area is formed between the flat peripheral top face of the piston and the flat bottom face of the first raised portion. A second spherical shell shape squish area is formed between the spherical bottom wall of the third raised portion and the spherical rear face of the second raised portion. A secondary throttle valve is arranged in the intake passage located downstream of the throttle valve of a carburetor. A secondary intake passage is branched off from the intake passage located between the secondary throttle valve and the throttle valve of the carburetor and opens into the intake port at a position near the intake valve. The secondary throttle valve is closed when the engine is operating under a light load, while the secondary throttle valve is opened when an engine is operating under a heavy load…
