Heads up on Motorcyclecarbs.com

G'day.
I started a post about 5/6 weeks ago asking for help about repairing a broken float post.
I was put onto motorcyclecarbs.com in Kennesaw GA. Does anyone know of them?
I sent my no.1 carby body to them about a month ago and have tried to contact them with no luck.:angry: :angry: So I googled them and found a lot of complaints from ripoffreport.com
I also tried google earth with their address 3091 Cobb Parkway NW suite 1311 Kennesaw GA 30152.
And came up with an intersection with a service station on 1 corner a food mart on another and an
aldi and a vacant block on the other 2 corners. I don't know how old the google earth pictures are?
My g/e pics are about 2 years old here.
Would there be anyone that lives near there able to ride out there to have a look thankyou.

Best Regards Harvey

P.S. Has anyone heard from oldkaws4ever. Last msg from him he had a no.1 vm33 s/b carby 4 me.

just talked to my buddy, and he says that there is not a motorcycle shop it that area, although he is going by memory, he is willing to drive by the address and see what is up.

Out of curiosity I visited their website. They really look bogus to me because they refuse to list their phone number and they refuse to list their business address. Are they operating out of the back of a pickup truck using a laptop and cell phone? They say "Again our phone number being off site does not reflect the status of our company negatively. It is a neccesity in order to help grow our company and for us to help you more efficiently. So email that question and phone number!" I guess that's suposed to be true about not listing their business address too. Sorry guys, it DOES reflect the status of your company negatively. Ed

Here's their "Contact Us" link:
