Abstract
An air-cooled engine includes: a cooling fan configured to rotate in conjunction with an engine rotation shaft; a fan housing covering the cooling fan; a screen having a disk shape and configured to rotate integrally with the cooling fan so as to shred foreign matters; and a screen cover having a plurality of openings defined therein and attached to the fan housing so as to suppress entry, into the fan housing, of foreign matters drawn by the cooling fan. The screen cover has a polygonal outer shape when viewed from an axial direction of the engine rotation shaft.
