An auxiliary starting device for an internal combustion engine, particularly for a diesel engine, comprises a driving device actuated by a starting switch to move a control lever of a fuel injection pump in a direction for increasing fuel for the engine for a predetermined period of time, thereby achieving an improved starting performance in any condition without any troublesome starting operation. The inventive device engages the control lever so as to permit further increases in fuel supply beyond a minimum value established thereby.
