Abstract
A three-valve prechamber internal combustion engine is provided with a conduit through which atmospheric air may be drawn into the intake passage leading to the prechamber. A solenoid valve in the conduit is opened during deceleration of the engine to lean-out any over-rich mixture and to remove any fuel droplets clinging to the walls of the auxiliary intake passage, thus preventing the temporary formation of an over-rich mixture which is not ignited by the spark plug. Such an over-rich mixture when exhausted into the exhaust passage contacts the hot portions thereof to be explosively ignited to produce the undesirable afterburning phenomenon.
