Thank you all for this helpful input. I will explore these options and let you know what I learn. Croc, thank you, and I must say that your comprehensive knowledge of the car's history helped me bid with confidence! Scotticus, can't do better than Jeff's gorgeous pics on the BaT listing, but will post some of my own soon! MV8, great questions, and I will have a better sense as I get to know the car. Makes sense that the devil is in the details with this type of issue.

Thank you all for your help! I will reach out to KTR/Jim Burns. And yes, this is Stuart's/Jeff's car. Jeff carried the torch and kept her in beautiful shape, continuing the fine-tuning and sorting process that makes these cars fun. I aim to do the same! I'll follow up on this thread to keep @inchoate in the loop.

Hello all, first post on USA7s, having recently taken delivery of a lovely Seven powered by a Cosworth BDA-based engine, running Dellorto carbs. Thrilled to join the cult. Looking for guidance on mechanics in the Boston area who can help with work on this car going forward. I'll do my best to tackle what I can, but I expect there will be moments when I'll need to defer to someone who knows these cars - and these particular engines - inside and out. More broadly, I suppose shops with experience with classic crossflow Caterhams would be a good place to start. To begin with, I'm looking for a shop that can tune the carbs. Engine runs strong overall though has a mild hesitation at 3k rpm. Thanks in advance for any guidance!
