Pump drive structure for a two-cycle engine

摘要

To provide a pump drive structure capable of making a vehicular width more compact. A drive side pulley of a V-belt transmission is mounted on a right end of a crank shaft provided on an engine. A balancer drive gear is provided on the crank shaft opposite to the drive side pulley in the axial direction. The balancer drive gear is meshed with a balancer driven gear on a balancer shaft disposed in parallel to and directly under the crank shaft. Further, a pump drive gear provided at an axial end of the balancer shaft is meshed with driven gears of pump shafts of the water pump and the oil pump distributed on the front and rear sides of the balancer shaft. Thus, the water and oil pumps are simultaneously driven by the balancer shaft.
