Abstract

An engine-driven working machine capable of suppressing vibration, and further securing output power of an engine is provided. An engine-driven working machine 10 is a generator in which an outer case 12 is formed to be substantially rectangular in plan view that extends in a longitudinal direction, and an engine 15 is housed in an inside 13 of the outer case 12. In the generator 10, a crankshaft 41 is disposed to intersect the longitudinal direction of the outer case 12. Further, an intake port 44 and an exhaust port 45 are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the outer case 12. Furthermore, a carburetor 61 is disposed at a side of the intake port 44, and a muffler 67 is disposed at a side of the exhaust port 45.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An engine-driven working machine in which an outer case is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view so that a length of the outer case in one direction orthogonal to a short-side direction of the outer case is longer than a length of the outer case in the short-side direction, and an engine is housed in an inside of the outer case, comprising:
a crankshaft of the engine, which is disposed orthogonal to the one direction of the outer case;
an intake port and an exhaust port that are disposed in the one direction of the outer case;
a carburetor that is disposed at a side of the intake port;
a muffler that is disposed at a side of the exhaust port; and
a cover unit that is disposed in the outer case and houses a whole of the engine, wherein:
the cover unit has a cover covering the engine at one side of the short-side direction and a shroud covering the engine at an other side of the short-side direction,

the outer case has an undercover formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view so that a length of the undercover in the one direction is longer than a length of the undercover in the short-side direction, and
a front lower portion and a rear lower portion of the cover unit are connected to the undercover.

2. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a cooling fan that is provided at a side of an extension line of the crankshaft, and has an outlet port for cooling air disposed to face the carburetor.
