Abstract
An evaporative emission system for an engine includes a float chamber of a carburetor connected to a charcoal canister via an inlet port and an outlet port. The emission system is characterized in that an electromagnetic opening and closing mechanism for actuating a valve which selectively opens and closes the inlet port is controlled by a temperature-sensitive switch so that evaporation of low-boiling-point components of fuel and absorption thereof by the charcoal is prevented at low temperatures even in case of long periods during which the engine is not running. The starting characteristics of the engine are thus maintained.
