I had problems at the beginning with flameouts and determined that it was not the Lightspeed but the servo was not rich on take off--I hac to have the servo fuel flow enriched three times--the last time I had them take it all the way open and turned back one turn--this did the trick and I have never had a problem since.

I had dual Lightspeed initially and running lean resulted in flameouts in one or more cylinders - the engine would fart and startle everyone aboard (me too).  Klaus modified the system in 2006, I moved the box from the firewall to inside the cabin, and it ran much better.  Later I grew uneasy without a dissimilar backup so I pulled one EI and replaced with a mag.  Since they all has been well.  I typically run TIT 1550-1600 and EGT 100-150 LoP.

I couldn't get my Lightspeed ignition system to function properly for more than an hour or two at a time.  Even after visiting Klaus in person.  The system is now a paper weight.
