ABSTRACT:
In a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine having throttle valves to be opened and closed by electric motors, output control is enabled in various ways according to the state of usage of an object to be driven by the multi-cylinder internal combustion engine with a simple structure with the scope of application of shared components being expanded to reduce the cost. In addition, a throttle body assembly is downsized in the direction of the arrangement of the cylinders. A multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes a predetermined number of cylinders, a throttle body assembly including the throttle bodies formed with intake-air channels and throttle valves. The respective throttle valves are opened and closed by the electric motors provided independently for each throttle valve. Air-intake ports of the first and fourth cylinders are formed so as to approach a center plane in the direction of the arrangement as they approach entrances.
