Internal combustion engine with decompression device

Abstract

The invention provides an internal combustion engine having a decompression device, wherein the decompression device includes a pressure reducing valve, a recoil starter, and a decompression working mechanism. The decompression working mechanism works in association with the motion of the recoil starter means, for opening and closing the pressure reducing valve. The decompression working mechanism includes a rotatable recoil reel with at least one abutting jut disposed on the outer periphery thereof, a decompression lever which is swingably mounted to a fixed member of the internal combustion engine and which is swung, upon abutting against the abutting jut of the recoil reel, and a decompression rod, formed into a crooked-rod which is pivotally supported by the fixed member and which is rotated upon abutting against the decompression lever. Further, the decompression lever and the decompression rod are disposed between the fixed member and a recoil cover which covers the recoil starter member, and are covered with a cylinder cover of the internal combustion engine at the upper portion thereof.
