Probably right. Hard to replace years of experience. Glad u bought my carb before he retired. Must have been one of his last customers.

According to their website Ron will be in “semi-retirement” and the shop will be open again sometime after the first of the year. Sounds like mostly carb business.

Yeah, if he's like most machinists he won't stay away completely lol. Just noticed the caption at the bottom of his website with a shout out to Vince, the founder of this site...pretty cool.

I sent a email about getting a stem swap done. Hopefully he is still doing it. I dont know of anyone else who does the stem swap and has the spacer.

I’m glad to say I received a new in box RB modded carb 2 months ago. I emailed him a few days ago asking for a modded tm36 and got the response “I’m not doing them anymore). I truly hope someone (him preferably) will continue doing his outstanding work.
