Since the outlets 150 and 166 are connected to the second suction path 144 on the second oil pump 116 side, the oil discharged from the first relief valve 147 of the first oil pump 116 is also sucked by the second oil pump 116. Even when an oil circulation circuit is configured on the second oil pump 116 side, an overflow from the circulation circuit to the suction path side of the first oil pump 116 occurs. By doing so, less oil is drawn into the second oil pump 116 side, and in the case of oil mixed with a lot of air, it is possible to prevent the influence of air on the second oil pump 116 side, The enlargement of the first oil pump 115 can be prevented.

  Since the first and second suction ports 141 and 142 are connected in common to a single oil strainer 113 common to the first and second oil pumps 115 and 116, the number of parts can be increased by using a single oil strainer 113. Can be reduced.

  The first oil pump 115 supplies lubricating oil to the lubricated portion 175 of the engine body 32, and the second oil pump 116 supplies oil for hydraulic control to the hydraulic control device 177 of the transmission M. When the control device 177 is inactive, the oil circulation circuit is configured on the second oil pump 116 side, so that an insufficient oil supply amount to the lubricated portion 175 of the engine body 32 can be prevented. At this time, even when the oil mixed in from the oil strainer 113 is sucked in such a manner that almost all of the oil sucked from the oil strainer 113 is sucked by the first oil pump 115, the oil mixed in the air is supplied. This makes it easy to guide oil mixed with air to the lubricated portion 175 side of the engine body 32 that does not cause a problem.

  The pump casing 117 forms pump chambers 130 and 133 of the first and second oil pumps 115 and 116 between the pump body 118 and the pump cover 119, and the pump body 118 and the pump cover 119, respectively. 118 and the plate 120 sandwiched between the pump cover 119 and the partition wall 140 and the plate 120 provided integrally with the pump body 118 that is one of the pump body 118 and the pump cover 119, and the first and second suction paths Since 143 and 144 are isolated from each other, a structure in which the first and second suction passages 143 and 144 are isolated from each other and formed in the pump casing 117 can be easily configured.
