Hello, I am enclosing what I have used for my '85 S3, 1.6l Kent imperial chassis. Here it is. I gave up on keeping headlights several years ago. Now I work to maintain brake lights. Good luck. Help can also be found at Dave Bean in San Andreas CA. They bought the stock from Lotus when they departed the pattern several years ago. Ken Gray is the one I deal with. He is v-nice and helpful, he has an indentured servitude relationship with the company since he owns a Lotus Elan. ken@davebean.com Good luck wiring diagram 85 seven:kent.pdf

I was able to restart my seven today. Those of you who had the chosen topic"180 out" win the lottery. With a neighbors help we static times it and reset the timing . All is right with the world now. ultraslow

That is ALFADOC, I can't read my own writing. ultraslow

Just a note. Gordon Self operates alfadog a shop specializing in Alfa Romeo work. He is also a Weber-whisperer which is how I got wind of him. My problem may be weber related and he is the man for that around here. ultraslow

Sorry for the lag in replying. Yeah, that was me that assaulted you at the traffic light. Anyway,I checked the plug order and firing order. Plugs are gapped and wires are new last year. There is spark. I spray starting fluid in and still no joy. I need to run static timing and then think about this some more. I may be 180deg out, how I don't know how could have come about, this exercise will give a me some idea re that. Talked with Gordon Self in ABQ, he is willing to help if I can get it to him. This problem has been building for the last six months.

I will check the plug wires, dizzy, and drain and refill the gas tank. Thanks It is depressing to have so simple a machine and be incapable of keeping it running.

I own an '85 Caterham Seven. I cannot get it to start.It ran a few weeks ago. New plugs ect, all for nought. Is there anybody in the ABQ area that is willing to travel to Jemez Springs, I will pay, to help me get it started? I have obviously reached the limits of my abilities on this.I think it is a timing issue. 1.6l Kent Xflow w/40DCOE's and Pertronix.

Item sold. Thanks all ultraslow

This is a used aftermarket steel sump that fit a 1.6l 711M Kent engine. I drove over a gas station filler cap and cracked it at a seam. It was re-welded and looks fine. I also have a spare, new fiber gasket. Asking $25 and you reimburse shipping

Ebay UK has two nose cones. The red one will ship to US. Looks good. ultraslow

I bought my '85S3 from a museum/manager in Seattle and used their reccomanded shipper. http://www.passporttransport.com/ Good experience.

My '85 S3 suddenly developed a slap whenever I accelerated, or backed off throttle. Slow shifting limited this. I read all the bits I could find, checked bushings, moaned about worn splines , and finally discovered a loose wrench on the back shelf. Occams Razor lives. Simple answers can exist, even in a Seven. Happy Thanksgiving indeed.

Does there know where I can get the dash covering material for an S3 dash? black, textured,appears to be a laminate? Ultraslow I answered my own question. I contacted Prince Racing, has lots os Lotus parts, and was give the advice that I could have the cask crackle/powder coated and save myself the hassle of trying to find the laminate material, which like a lot of the bits in older sevens, is not made anymore.
