Ref Ebay item 326099399458
Has anybody any experience of the above ? - or similar.
I'm not in the market for new carbs and don't expect to be. I expect this to conform to the ' if it looks too good to be true it probably is' rule but I cant help being curious to hear others experience - if any.
Cheers

Yes - I had noticed the feedback percentage was low . In my ebay experience any transaction with a trader with less than 99% is risky. As I said I was just curious if any Lotus folk had first hand experience. Thought it might flush out some interesting stories...

I had a look at a pair on a trade stand at Classic le Mans, years ago, after they first came out. They were truly awful at that time, would not touch them with a barge pole. For the last ten years of my working life, I traded in Historic Motorsport parts for a living, after leaving the rat race, and over that time, I must have refurbished close to a thousand individual DCOE's. In the far east ones, threads were bad, one had swarf inside, jet sizes weren't what they were supposed to be, (I could tell by eye at that point), poor gaskets, play in throttle spindles from new, everything you looked at was poor.
They may be a bit better now, but I still wouldn't go near them. A refurbed pair of 18's, 31's, or 151's are much better.
