Jay,

Great report - thanks. A couple of comments:

1. www.avweb.com have a great review of the CO detectors on the market as
well as some of the background related to thresholds etc.
2. It would be interesting to see if a PowerFlow system changes the
numbers.
3. Did you try fiddling with the mixture? Perhaps leaning the mixture
might lower the CO numbers?
4. It would be interesting to plot a graph (airspeed vs. CO) in various
phases of flight. Climb phase would be good, be I guess I'd be more
interested in the descent and landing phase since that's where CO is more
likely to cause problems.
5. I've been sitting on the fence, but you might have just pushed me over
the edge. I once had a flight in a Cutlass - gave me a really bad headache,
and I essentially couldn't stand after the flight - bad situation. It was
either CO or lack of sleep - I've never figured out which but a CO detector
sure would have helped.

Thanks for you report!

Hilton
