Engine control device
First Claim
1. An engine control device comprising a throttle opening detection device configured to detect an opening of a throttle valve, an operation load detection device configured to detect an operation load of steering handlebars, a rotational speed detection device configured to detect a speed of an engine, an engine speed control device configured to increase the speed of an engine when a value detected by the throttle opening detection device is smaller than a predetermined value and a value detected by the operation load detection device is greater than a predetermined value, and an ignition timing control device configured to compute a difference between a detection value from the rotational speed detection device and a preset target engine speed and to adjust ignition timing of an engine based on the computed value, when the engine speed is increased by the control of the engine speed control device.

Abstract
An engine control device can include a throttle valve for adjusting an amount of air supplied to an engine, operation amount detecting sensors for detecting an operation amount of a throttle lever, a motor for driving the throttle valve between open and closed positions according to detection values of the operation amount detecting sensor 21a or the like, and throttle opening detecting sensors for detecting an opening of the throttle valve is provided with a limp-home mechanism for keeping the throttle valve in a mechanically neutral position when an abnormality occurs. When the throttle valve is in the mechanically neutral position, an ignition timing control can be switched in a stepwise manner over a predetermined time period from a regular ignition timing control to a limp-home ignition timing control.
