Abstract:
1. A control system for controlling an output of a two-cylinder V-type internal combustion engine that has a first cylinder and a second cylinder, each of which receives a corresponding piston therein, wherein an angular interval between a top dead center of the piston of the first cylinder and a closest one of a top dead center and a bottom dead center of the piston of the second cylinder, which is closest to the top dead center of the piston of the first cylinder, is not a quotient of a full rotational angle of an output shaft of the engine divided by an integer number, the control system comprising: a timing rotor that is rotated synchronously with the output shaft and includes a plurality of sensing portions that are arranged at equal intervals, each of which is set as a predetermined quotient of the angular interval divided by a corresponding integer number; and a sensing means for sensing the plurality of sensing portions of the timing rotor.
