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. When the level of the load of the engine becomes higher than a predetermined level, the shut-off valve is slowly opened by a DC motor.
