An electric power generation system () is disclosed, which includes an electric power generator () driven by a four-cycle internal combustion engine (). The engine () includes a plurality of reciprocating cylinders (C-C) each rotatably coupled to a crankshaft (), which drives the electric power generator (). A controller () is included that is operable to control fueling to start the engine () as a function of engine temperature and determine initial engine start-up as a function of rotational engine speed. This controller () regulates engine acceleration until a target engine speed is reached from initial start-up. Once this target speed is reached, the controller () provides a speed governor function.
