Abstract
A general-purpose engine includes a canister which adsorbs fuel vapor that has evaporated within a fuel tank. The fuel vapor is desorbed from the canister and guided to an intake system communicating with an engine main body. The engine main body includes a crankcase and a cylinder block joined to the crankcase to have an upwardly inclined cylinder axis (C). The canister is disposed to one side of the crankcase and beneath the cylinder block to avoid any increase in the dimensions of the general-purpose engine.
