BlueSky Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 I got Damon's email address from a forum post and emailed him about purchasing his V-Max carb rebuild video. I received it Friday and it is quite comprehensive and professionally made. I haven't watched all of it yet. It's about 1 1/2 hours long. I'm very pleased. When I ordered it I also ordered the V-Max engine rebuild video and both cost $20. He was a week late putting it in the mail and refunded my $20 when he mailed them without me contacting him before he refunded the price. I'd say that he has to be a very honorable person based on that act. Anyhow, if you are contemplating rebuilding your carbs, I suggest you buy his video and watch it first to get an idea of what you are getting into. I'm not sure if I am more or less intimidated after watching what I have so far. Maybe I should watch it several times! I pulled the carbs off my ZN700 and cleaned them as best I could without disconnecting them from each other and I have to say, my ZN700 Keihin carbs are very simple compared to these Yamaha Mikunis!
snyper316 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Can anyone tell me how to get ahold of Damon, I'm working on my spare carburetors. And may be purchasing a spare engine after I get the carbs done. "Never ride faster then your guardian angel can fly."

CaseyJ955 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I read a thread somewhere on his videos and have heard great things. The Vmax/Venture carbs arent too bad once you get into them but i'm sure I would learn a thing or two from a professional vid.
cimmer Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 One thing to note on his carb rebuild video. It is a Vmax carb he is rebuilding and there is some difference between the Vmax and the Venture carbs. On the Vmax, #4 carb has the plastic cover over the coasting diaphragm, while our Ventures have the plastic cover is on our carb #1 . That is due to the way the choke is set between the bikes. That is one thing I did notice when I went to work on mine. It is an excellent video on the process of tearing down, cleaning and rebuilding the carbs. Rick F.
snyper316 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I emailed him the other day about his video, just waiting. I believe mostly the same carbon same concept. "Never ride faster then your guardian angel can fly."
