Abstract
In a start control apparatus for an engine generator having a booster adapted to boost an output of a battery, there is provided an engine starter adapted to supply the boosted battery output to an output winding as a motor current to start the engine, and it is configured to determine whether a position of the piston is before a top dead center (TDC) when the motor current is to be supplied to the winding, and the motor current is increased by an increment when the piston position of the engine is determined to be before the TDC.
