Abstract
A flywheel, a cooling fan and a recoil starter are mounted on a crank shaft of an engine, thereby forming an engine unit. A power generating body is mounted on the end of the engine unit with the aid of an adapter intervening therebetween. The adapter and a rotor shaft are interconnected by means of a through bolt. A control system of the engine generator may be changed to an AVR type or an inverter type control system by removing the through bolt and replacing the power generating body with another. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an engine generator which allows the control system to be replaced with another type control system by easy replacing work.
