My main argument against mixture cuts is that (especially for turbocharged engines) its not a very kind thing for the engine. There is no need for the simulated power loss to be total & sudden. Its unlikely to occur in a black & white sense like that in real life.
It isn't ??
I have had engines quit on two occassions on singles and three occassions on twins when the loss of power was both total.........and sudden !
