Abstract
An air inlet system of an engine includes a fan having a plurality of vanes in a radial arrangement for blowing air from a center of rotation of the fan towards a radially outward area. A fan case covers the fan and has an airflow supply opening formed in the vicinity of the center of rotation of the fan and an airflow path formed at the outer periphery of the fan to direct an airflow for cooling said engine. A communication path has an air intake formed in the vicinity of the airflow supply opening in the fan case and directs the introduced air to a carburetor of the engine.
