Abstract
An arrangement for supporting an electronic control unit (1) on an internal combustion engine. The electronic control unit is provided to bridge a part (7) of an engine main body assembly (6) and a part (9) of an air intake assembly (11). The part of the air intake assembly (11) is preferably an intake air pipe (9). The part of the engine main body assembly (6) is preferably a head cover (7). Therefore, the weight of the electronic control unit (1) is partly supported by the head cover (7) of which rigidity is high. The electronic control unit (1) is inclined towards the head cover (7) so that a larger ratio of the weight of the electronic control unit is supported by the head cover.
