The hard data shows that ROP, the  CO level rises to several percentage
points at 100F ROP.  NOT GOOD.

LOP, the CO level is almost nil.

Part of the efficiency of LOP operations comes from the fact that the CO
(from ROP) gets further burned (oxidized) into CO2 when operating lean of
peak and some further useful energy is obtained from the reaction.

If you EVER suspect carbon monoxide in the cabin - - grab the red knob and
make the mixture LOP.  It could save your bacon.
