Abstract
A split engine comprising a plurality of cylinders divided into a first cylinder group and a second cylinder group. The second cylinder group is connected to the outside air via a second surge tank. The first cylinder group is connected to the second surge tank via a first surge tank. A shut-off valve is arranged in the connecting portion of the first surge tank and the second surge tank. The supply of fuel into both of the cylinder groups is stopped when a predetermined time period has elapsed after the decelerating operation is started. Then, the shut-off valve opens when a predetermined time period has elapsed after the supply of fuel is stopped.
