A spark plug guard can be switched between a spark-plug covering position to protect a spark plug and a spark-plug opening position. An operator displaces the spark plug guard from the spark-plug covering position to the spark-plug opening position, thereby obtaining a wide working space to perform the maintenance and inspection of the spark plug efficiently. The spark plug guard has a function of fixing a predetermined part in the spark-plug covering position. Consequently, the need for a part fixing member which was conventionally required for fixing the predetermined part to the engine body is eliminated, thus contributing to a decrease in the weight of the whole internal combustion engine and to cost reduction.
