If you are burning components under light loads you are not lean enough. If you watch EGT as you get leaner it will go up to peak (which is where you will start burning valves/pistons/other things) then as you go leaner (50*F at least) temps will drop off. The throttle will have to be opened more to get the same power but you won't have to be sucking air past a throttle plate, which is where a fair bit of efficiency can be gained.
