Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for controlling idle revolutions of an engine which comprises a controlling member to control an idle revolution changing member so as to adjust the idle revolutions detected by the engine revolution detector to a predetermined number of idle revolutions, in which the controlling member fixes the idle revolution changing member to a predetermined condition during misfiring of the engine detected by a misfire detecting member. Therefore, hunting of the engine can be prevented, and a better riding is thus ensured.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
An apparatus for controlling idle revolutions of an engine, comprising: means for detecting a number of revolutions of said engine; means for adjusting idle revolutions of said engine; means for detecting a misfire of said engine; and means for controlling said adjusting means to adjust the idle revolutions detected by said engine revolution detecting means to a predetermined number of idle revolutions, wherein said controlling means fixes said adjusting means to a predetermined condition during a misfire condition of said engine detected by said misfire detecting means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
87 words
An apparatus for controlling idle revolutions of an engine, comprising: means for detecting a number of revolutions of said engine; means for adjusting idle revolutions of said engine; means for detecting a misfire of said engine; and means for controlling said adjusting means to adjust the idle revolutions detected by said engine revolution detecting means to a predetermined number of idle revolutions, wherein said controlling means fixes said adjusting means to a predetermined condition during a misfire condition of said engine detected by said misfire detecting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said misfire detecting means determines the misfire condition of said engine when a deviation of said number of the revolutions of said engine detected by said revolution detecting means exceeds a predetermined level.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said revolution detecting means includes crank angle detecting means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a bypass air passage bypassing a throttle valve of said engine, wherein said adjusting means changes an amount of air flowing through said bypass air passage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
