A fuel supply apparatus for an engine for spraying fuel, stored in a fuel chamber provided in a carburetor, to an interior of a Venturi section in a throttle body of the carburetor in accordance with negative pressure in the interior of the Venturi section, the engine fuel supply apparatus comprising:

• a first communication passage for opening an interior of the fuel chamber to an atmosphere;
• a second communication passage for communicating the interior of the fuel chamber with the interior of the Venturi section;
• and
• a passage switching section configured to switch between the first communication passage and the second communication passage,
• the passage switching section being mechanically connected to a main switch so that the passage switching section can operate in response to an switching operation of the main switch between the ignition position and the stop position for igniting or deactivating an ignition device of the engine,
• the passage switching section being constructed to:
• switch the second communication passage to the first communication passage in response to the main switch shifting from the stop position to the ignition position;
• and switch the first communication passage to the second communication passage in response to the main switch shifting from the ignition position to the stop position,
• wherein the passage switching section includes a valve rod connected to the main switch and a valve body connected to the valve rod, the passage switching section switching between the ignition position and the stop position by rotating the main switch and thereby rotating the valve rod and the valve body between the ignition position and the stop position.
