ABSTRACT:
In an engine intake A/F ratio control system in an outboard engine system, a secondary air passage (P) for supplying secondary air for regulating the A/F ratio of an air-fuel mixture is connected to a carburetor (33) in an intake system of an engine (E), and a duty control valve (68) is connected to the secondary air passage (P). A duty control unit (92) is connected to the duty control valve (68) for controlling the duty ratio of a pulse applied to a coil (76) of the duty control valve (68), and an LAF sensor (94) is mounted to an exhaust system for detecting an A/F ratio of an exhaust gas to input a detection signal proportional to the A/F ratio of the exhaust gas to the duty control unit (92). Thus, in any of a case when the tolerance of the purifying rate of the catalytic converter is set relatively widely with an engine output taken into consideration to a certain extent, and a case when the set range is shifted to a rich side of the A/R ratio with the engine output taken into serious consideration, the A/F ratio of the exhaust gas can be controlled properly to a desired target value.
