I have a 79 230K with a GB. It runs like Harley below 11-1200 and then smooths out above that. It helps to aggressivly lean at idle. Generally speaking the birds are too rich at idle anyway which leads to spark plug fouling.

Thanks for the good gouge and affirm to all....I thought of that while airborne and did a couple of GPS approaches to make sure with same result. On both ILS and GPS approaches I would watch the GS come down the HSI and CDI and just keep going down as drove right through waiting for the nose to pitch over. APP would just continue to flash and GS would never illuminate. I then had to revert to the simple but uncivilized way of piloting such a magnificent and modern machine and acually have to lay hands on the yoke and fly the acft....how barbaric.

Thanks...this is exactly the type of info I was looking for.

Thanks already on it....was hoping to lead turn the page by page read by plugging into the knowledge of the masses. Expensive fixes tend to bite into the monthy flight time goals and wish lists like interior.

Does anyone know anything about the GS and the century 41? I own a 1979 M20K and took her out for a two hour IFR flight the other day to shoot some ILS and GPS approaches. Everything worked very well in the horizontal modes (NAV and HDG) but never captured the GS when in APP mode. the APP light never went steady and the GS light never came on. The system just continued to fly the approach in APP mode with no vertical coupling. The EFIS (Sandel 3308), and GNS 430W all indicated GS guidance and I just hand flew it down the GS so that is no worry. Additionally the NAV2 VOR and CDI also indicated correctly so my assumption is the Century 41 GS logic has checked off the net. Anyway just wondering if anyone out there has tinkered wih any of these systems and had any idea where to start looking prior to my local shop out here doing discovery learning at $80 per hour.
