You know, like probably 75% of GA aircraft! (Unless they have improved remarkably in the last few years)
I think you're mistaken there. I haven't been to an APS seminar, but I have read a quite a bit of Deakin's articles and as I recall, the advice was generally don't attempt LOP operations with an uninstrumented carburated engine. I don't know if that's still what they are recommending.
