Mary just called and told me Russ went to the hospital on August 18th, with heart and lung issues or problems, but only on one side.
He is doing much better and scheduled to come back home on or about August 25th now.
Their son, Jim, has worked with him for quite some time and he has still been repairing carburetors, but if you have sent one for repair, the turn around time may be a little longer, as he also works another full time job.

Re: Notice For Russ Potter Rebuilding Carburetors
Russ has been home for two weeks now and spends two to three hours a day in his shop.
He plans to bring 36 rebuilt carburetors to Hershey and will be in his RWI spot with is son, son-in-law, and a friend.
Half of the carburetors will have the swivel- mixture control and half will have the earlier style.
