An air-fuel mixing and delivery apparatus for an internal combustion engine is situated to be shielded from exposure to water or mud during travel of a vehicle, to protect fuel system components such as a fuel injector. In the air-fuel mixing and delivery apparatus, an air-intake port, a throttle body, and an air cleaner are arranged substantially linearly and extending rearwardly above a main body of the internal combustion engine, toward the rear of the vehicle. A fuel injector is positioned on the side of the throttle body, below a seat of the vehicle. The apparatus may include a fuel pump operatively attached to the throttle body as well as a fuel injector, so that the apparatus can be compactly consolidated. Optionally, a pressure regulator may also be attached to the throttle body.
