Abstract
An engine generator has an opening and closing mechanism including: a control shaft provided to a valve shaft of a choke valve to be rotatable relative thereto within a predetermined angular range; an urging member urging the valve shaft relative to the control shaft in a direction in which an opening degree of the choke valve decreases; a restriction mechanism that sets a minimum opening degree of the choke valve by restricting a range of rotation of the control shaft; a choke operating portion which, upon operation, drives the restriction mechanism in a direction in which the minimum opening degree of the choke valve decreases; and a negative pressure mechanism driven by a negative pressure generated during an operation of the engine to cause the control shaft to rotate to increase the minimum opening degree of the choke valve within the range of rotation restricted by the restriction mechanism.
