ENGINE-DRIVEN WORKING MACHINE

An engine-driven working machine is provided, in which a time period until the rotation speed limitation mode is canceled can be shortened. After the throttle valve (10) is moved to a fully-closed position by an operator's operation to allow the engine (2) to finish the fast idling state and while the engine (2) is transited to an idling state, the controller (18) cancels the rotation speed limitation mode by detecting an event that a cycle period of rotation speed variations of the engine (2) is longer than a cycle period of rotation speed variation in the fast idling state.
