Bob, I got in contact with Duke. He is bringing his Elan to my place this Sat morning for a bit of fiddling. Weber guru Keith Franck is driving up from the bay area and will do some trouble shooting and/or tuning. With a bit of luck Keith should have him going.

If I was retired this would have been a great excuse for a road trip.....
Thanks!

Hi Bob
You'd probably put in an offer on that yellow coupe without the engine, at least it would get back on the road that way.

Tell Keith to twat it with a hammer, leave his drill at home and things will be fine.
Guru? My arse.
Cheers,

Hi Pete,
I'm not sure what kind of interaction you've had with Keith, but I can speak from personal experience when I say that he is passionate about making Weber carbs better, he is a very nice guy, and my car runs far better after having met him.
Cheers,
Duke
ps - beautiful photos on your website...

Would any of the Sacramento/Bay Area/Reno/Carson City area Elan owners be interested in this?
