ABSTRACT:
In an engine control system mounted on a machine such as a walk-behind truck through a CVT and having an actuator whose operation is controlled such that a detected engine speed becomes equal to a desired engine speed, the output of the engine is estimated based on the detected engine speed and a detected throttle opening, the desired engine speed is changed when the estimated engine output is greater or smaller than output threshold values, and a speed reduction ratio of the CVT is also changed based on the detected engine speed such that a detected speed of the CVT output shaft speed becomes equal to a desired output shaft speed, thereby enabling to reduce the fuel consumption and noise of the engine.
