A gaseous-fueled reciprocating internal combustion engine includes a carburetor having a throttle valve that is controlled by a speed governor. A proportional fuel control valve is disposed intermediate a fuel supply and the carburetor, and is controlled by an air fuel computing device. The computing device generates a control signal to adjust the fuel control valve based on a governor sensed variable indicative of engine speed, sensed engine torque, a governor output signal from the governor indicative of an opening position of the throttle valve wherein 100% corresponds to a wide open throttle position, and 0% corresponds to a closed position, and a lean combustion control map containing predetermined set point values stored in memory. During operation, the control valve is responsive to the control signal generated by the computing device for adjustment of a fuel flow therethrough so as to obtain a ratio of air to fuel provided to the engine that is substantially at a lean misfire limit of the engine, thereby reducing fuel consumption, NO x emissions, and reducing exhaust gas temperatures. Alternatively, the control signal is generated using engine speed alone.
