Abstract
A throttle-valve control apparatus is provided for allowing switching from an ordinary-combustion state to an AR-combustion state or vice versa to take place with ease in an AR-combustible spark-ignition two-cycle engine wherein, at least during a light-load operation, a compression-start pressure is properly controlled in order to let fresh air in a combustion chamber self-ignite so as to undergo active thermal atmosphere combustion. A throttle drum is linked to a throttle grip through a wire. The throttle drum is also linked to a throttle valve through a linking mechanism. An arm forms a single body with the throttle drum. An adjustment screw is fixed at the end of the arm. A cam is supported at such a location that the cam can be brought into contact with the adjustment screw. A pulley forms a single body with the cam. A cable which is wound around the pulley is linked to a throttle-valve servo motor. In ordinary combustion ignited by spark ignition, the cam is erected, preventing the throttle opening rate .theta..sub.th of the throttle valve from decreasing to a value smaller than, typically, 17%.
