Abstract
A V-type internal combustion engine in which cylinders each including a cylinder skirt portion projecting into a crankcase are arranged in a V-shape, a governor device is disposed within the crankcase, central axes of the cylinders are offset from each other in an axial direction along a crankshaft supported in the crankcase, and a rotational speed transmission system for transmitting a rotational speed of a governor gear to a governor lever shaft is engages a rearward side of the cylinder skirt portion of a cylinder spaced forward from a rearward most cylinder as viewed among the crankshaft central axis. A single intake manifold is adapted to bridge cylinder heads in a V-bank defined between the cylinders. A carbureter is in fluid communication with the intake manifold. One end of the governor lever shaft is disposed in the V-bank. An intake control for controlling the carbureter in cooperation with one end of the lever shaft is disposed in the vicinity of the carbureter.
