If your elna lotus is not picking up the bobbin thread then the hook pinion gear may be broken.
Check the basic troubleshooting procedures first by checking out my previous video - • Sewing Machine Not Pic...

The hook pinion gear is responsible for driving the hook which picks up the thread from the needle. The needle thread picks up the bobbin thread as it passes around the bobbin case.
If the hook pinion gear has failed in any way then the bobbin thread may not get picked up. This is because the hook may stall, which throws out the timing, or the hook may fail to turn at all.
A simple test will confirm if the gear needs replacing or not.
The gears are still available as a third part manufactured part and I can supply them if you need one.
