ABSTRACT:
A choke valve is controlled finely suited to the running state of an engine. A throttle valve8and a choke valve9are provided in series on an intake pipe6, and the opening degree of the choke valve9is controlled by a stepping motor. The choke valve opening degree upon start of engine (start opening degree) is determined depending on the engine temperature. The stepping motor11is initialized at the fully closed side of the choke valve9when the power source for starting the engine is turned on. The start opening degree of the choke valve is judged to be closer to the fully closed side or fully opened side, and the stepping motor11is initialized at the fully closed side if judged to be close to the fully closed side, and at the fully opened side if at the fully opened side.
