I think you will be close with Lotus (emission) Spec 9 to get it running and can tweak from there. I would probably start with a 7850.2 idle jet holder and a 58 or 60 idle jet. You won't have any problem with fuel atomization in 38mm chokes at high RPM.
From the Dave Andrews website: http://members.aol.com/dvandrews/dellorto.htm the Main Emulsion tube should be a 7772.5. This should keep you in the main jet circuit while your on the track.
Adjust main jets maybe up to 180?? for your preferred CO level probably around 4 to 5%. A onboard CO meter would be an immense help in tuning so you can check while on the power at speed.
good luck, Kurt
From our good friend at the Esprit S1S2S3 list at Yahoo:
