Abstract
A kick type starting device for an engine, comprising a drive clutch body operatively connected to a kick axle of a kick pedal such that when the kick pedal is actuated engaging thrust and rotary torque are given to the driving clutch body, and a driven clutch body provided on an engine crank shaft and brought into engagement with the driving clutch body when the latter is advanced by the engaging thrust, wherein when the kick pedal returns to its resting position in a state where the driving and driven clutch bodies are engaged, a cam mechanism provided between the kick axle and the driving clutch body is actuated to cause the driving clutch body to be disengaged from the driven clutch body so as to cut the transmission of the reverse torque from the crank shaft to the kick axle.
