Description

For discussion of Lotus Cars with at least 4 full seats. The largest numbers of these are the 1970's Elite, the Eclat, and the Excel, powered by Lotus designed slant-4 engines. The rarer Lotus badged 4 seaters are included, namely the Carlton (Omega), Talbot (Sunbeam) and Cortina (Ford) cars. The Elan Plus-2S is really a +2, not a 4, but maybe you have some good 4-seat stories to share. You do not need to own one of these cars to participate, but your comments and questions should focus on these models or their subsystems (Lotus motors, for example). Attachments are removed, but you may post items to the files area. The message archives are public and can be searched for useful tips. Keep it friendly, and focused on the cars!

Re: Engine stalls when warm
I agree with Rick, take the idle jets out and give them a good (and careful) clean. If it runs reasonably well above 3,000 RPM its unlikely to be an ignition

Re: Engine stalls when warm
sounds like the idle circuit in the carburetors is fouled up, I would suggest removal of the carburetors and complete tear-down and cleaning

Re: Digest Number 2035
Typically, if it is running well cold, but breaking up under load once warm, I'd suspect your ignition is failing. If you haven't messed with the fuel system
