Abstract
A control system for a reversible internal combustion engine comprising an AC magneto generator to generate an AC output voltage and a signal generator to generate pulse signals of polarity different from each other with a relation between the phases of the AC output and the pulse signals set so that the half waves of the output voltage having the same polarity when the two pulse signals of different polarities are generated whereby the rotational direction of the engine is judged from the polarity of the half wave of the output voltage of the magneto generator when the signal generator generates the pulse signal of either polarity and the engine is ignited at the low speed ignition position after it is confirmed that the rotational direction of the engine is reversed.
