Abstract
Abstract An electrical fuel injection system for internal combustion engines, in which the operation of regular electromagnetic fuel injection valves is forcibly prevented so long as a starting electromagnetic fuel injection valve is in operation, whereby the engine can be started smoothly and positively without wetting the spark plug only with a readily atomizable fuel injected from the starting electromagnetic injection valve.
