Abstract
An air-fuel ratio control device for an engine, by which the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine is changed. The device set the air-fuel ratio to a lean mixture when the engine load is lower than a set load value and predetermined set speed, and when the engine load become higher than the set load value, or the engine speed exceeds the set speed, the device switches the air-fuel ratio from a lean mixture to a rich mixture to obtain higher engine output. The set load value is varied in accordance with the engine speed such that it is reduced as the engine speed is increased.
