Patent ID: 7285073

Claim:
An engine fuel supply control device for an engine connected to a drive wheel via a driver operable clutch and a transmission disposed between the engine and the drive wheel, the engine fuel supply control device comprising: an operating state detection section configured to detect at least one of a clutch position of the driver operable clutch based on a depression amount of a clutch pedal and a shifting operation of the transmission; a fuel cut-off determination section configured to determine if a specific fuel cut-off condition has been met; and a fuel supply stoppage section configured to stop a supply of fuel to the engine when a specific delay time has elapsed since the specific fuel cut-off condition was met, the fuel supply stoppage section being further configured to selectively set the specific delay time to different lengths of time depending on a detection status of either the clutch position being disengaged or the shifting operation being in progress with the detection status being detected after the specific fuel cut-off condition was met, the fuel supply stoppage section being further configured to set a first delay time as the specific delay time to immediately stop supplying fuel to the engine upon detection of the clutch position being disengaged or the shifting operation being in progress, and to selectively set the specific delay time to a second delay time whose length is longer than the first delay time when either the clutch has not been detected as disengaged or the shifting operation is not in progress.
