ABSTRACT:
There is provided an in-line multicylinder combustion engine of a type, in which the length and the width of the combustion engine can be reduced; which can be assembled compact in size with its center of gravity lowered in position; in which mass centering in the combustion engine can be accomplished, The engine (E) includes a crankshaft (17), an input shaft (18) and an output shaft (19). The crankshaft (17) is connected with the input shaft (18) through a clutch gear (40). An imaginary plane (H) containing respective axes (70, 80) of the crankshaft (17) and the input shaft (18) lies substantially horizontally, while the axis (90) of the output shaft (19) is positioned above the imaginary plane (H). An electric generator (30) having a drive gear (52) is positioned adjacent the center of gravity (G) defined between the crankshaft (17) and the output shaft (19), with its generator longitudinal axis (30C) positioned above another imaginary plane (M) connecting between the respective axes (70, 90) of the crankshaft (17) and the output shaft (19). The drive gear (52) of the electric generator (30) is meshed with the clutch gear (40).
