Thomas,

Thanks for the pointers. The articles are indeed quite good, but there
is something I do not understand. It seems the whole theory on LOP
operation is conditioned on having GAMI injectors, because the article
implies that you can not do LOP operations on "normal" engines because
of uneven fuel distribution causes roughness due to different cylinders
outputing different powers when you start leaning past peak. Am I
missing something here?

No, you're not. You're seeing a good example of just how sloppy the typical
FI systems are.

What percentage of planes actually have GAMI
injectors?

GAMI has sold about 7,000 sets of their GAMIjectors, so figure that against
the entire fleet of FI engines; probably 5%. They cost less than $1000 a
set, but most pilots will spend much more for other toys, never realizing
the fuel cost savings they're missing and the damage they do to their
engines (note how many planes need a top overhaul well before TBO).

I'll be buying an F33A in the next few weeks, and damn sure it will have
GAMI's installed before it goes anywhere.

(Also, I'm itching for a PRISM ignition system.)
