ABSTRACT:
A lubricating system for an internal combustion engine in which oil in a crankcase is supplied into an oil tank by a scavenging pump wherein it is possible to reduce the size of an engine body and the size of the scavenging pump. An oil tank is provided in an engine body adjacent, in the direction along the axis of a crankshaft, to a centrifugal clutch contained in a clutch containing chamber communicating with the inside of a crank chamber. A wall portion for partitioning the inside of the oil tank and the clutch containing chamber from each other is provided with an opening portion for communication between the clutch containing chamber and the inside of the oil tank, the opening portion being located on the outer side relative to the outermost rotational locus of a centrifugal clutch as viewed in the direction along the axis of the crankshaft.
