An outboard motor has an induction system and a fuel supply system. The two systems are linked together to improve responsiveness of the fuel supply system based upon fluctuations in pressure within the induction system. The motor includes an induction air pressure detection system. The detection system comprises a pressure sensor and a connection to at least two different air intake pipes of the induction system. The connection between the sensor and the two pipes is configured such that the distance between the sensor and each of the pipes is the same. The detection system is configured to sample the pressure in multiple intake pipes associated with multiple cylinders using connecting conduits that have the same length from each intake pipe to the pressure sensor.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An engine comprising a first cylinder and a second cylinder, the first cylinder including a first combustion chamber and the second cylinder including a second combustion chamber, the engine further comprising an induction system that is in fluid communication with the first and second combustion chambers,the induction system comprising an intake chamber, a first intake conduit that communicates with the intake chamber and the first combustion chamber, a second intake conduit that communicates with the intake chamber and the second combustion chamber;an induction air pressure detection system being operatively connected with the induction system, the detection system comprising an induction air detection pressure sensor, the pressure sensor communicating with the first intake conduit through a first combined conduit path and with the second intake conduit through a second combined conduit path, and the first combined conduit path and the second combined conduit path having substantially the same length.
