Abstract
A two-cycle internal combustion engine provided with at least one fuel injection nozzle, wherein the fuel injection nozzle is provided with a heating element for heating the fuel so as to cause the fuel to undergo a phase change before the fuel is injected from the fuel injection nozzle. A fuel control circuit for controlling the heating element is attached to the engine so that an AC electromotive force generated at a generator portion of an ignition device is input therein and, based on such electromotive force, the heating element is controlled. All of the ignition device, the fuel controlling circuit and the generator portion are formed into a single integrated body which functions as an ignition/fuel controlling device.
