    Looking for good shop in southern Ohio

    I am looking for good shop or mechanic in the Columbus, OH area to clean or rebuild carbs on 83 GS1100E. I've gotten suggestions on guys in Akron and Louisville but would like to try closer to home. (Chillicothe, OH) Since I retired I don't have the room or time to do these and just want to get it done, but done right of course. There was a shop here but he retired too. ;( Thanks for suggestions.

      There is a member Steve , who used to post a lot here but hasn't in a while. He's located in SW Ohio. You could try to send him a PM, but can't say if he'll reply. I know Steve used to rebuild a lot of carbs for people, with good reviews. Not sure if he's still doing this. Anyone know if Steve is still around?

      There are other members, Nessism, is one, but he's in Cali. He also rebuilds carbs, with good reviews. I'm sure there are others.

          Steve was one of the technical leaders on the GSR for many years, and with good reason. He helped a LOT of people, including rebuilding a lot of carbs for the folks here. That said, something went drastically off the rails with him, ultimately resulting in a very ugly situation which is documented here...

          Place your GS carburetor, fuel or exhaust questions in this forum.


          This situation is inexplicable, and seemingly out of character for Steve. But, it is what it is at this point.

              Read that "Steve" thread. Nessesm, I have much respect for you.
