The purpose of the present invention is to provide an engine control device (starter) in which the length of a surge-current return circuit can be reduced, and loss of the returning surge current due to electrical resistance can be reduced. To achieve the above-described purpose, an engine control device of the present invention is configured such that, in an engine starter including a gear case 2, a magnet switch 7 that is supported by the gear case 2 in a cantilever manner, a starter motor 4 that is supported by the gear case 2 in a cantilever manner and is provided next to the magnet switch 7, and a starter control device 3 for controlling the supply of power to the magnet switch 7 and the starter motor 4, the starter control device 3 is provided at an end 6 of the starter motor 4 opposite from the end supported by the gear case 2, and an earth terminal of the starter control device 3 is electrically connected to the end 6 of the starter motor 4. |
