Abstract
In an outboard motor having a fuel-injected two-cycle engine, engine speed, throttle setting, engine boost pressure, and/or other variables are detected and a basic fuel injection volume determined. Fuel is supplied to each of the engine's cylinders according to the detected values. When the engine is stopped, information about the operating conditions of the engine before the engine was stopped are saved in a memory of a controller. These saved values represent the residual fuel volume left in the engine's cylinders at a subsequent start-up of the engine. The saved values are used to correct the basic fuel injection volume determined at start-up by the controller.
