Multi-cylinder engine and engine auxiliary parts mounting construction

Abstract

There is provided a multi-cylinder engine having an intake manifold that includes a plurality of induction pipes which are each connected at, one end thereof, to a cylinder head the induction pipes extending away from the cylinder head and being curved to extend along a side of a cylinder block, and thereafter being curved further to approach the cylinder block to finally extend toward the respective one end sides of the induction pipes. In the multi-cylinder engine, a starter motor is disposed in a gap defined between the intake manifold and the cylinder block.
