bongobobny Posted January 8, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2011 I just purchased a 4 hour DVD all about rebuilding the 1200/1300 engine. It is based on the VMAX engine but as you know it is the same basic motor. Should anyone want to borrow it I will make it available for shipping costs. Don, maybe you could make this a sticky...

dingy Posted January 8, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Bob, Is it the one that is on Ebay? I have the engine DVD and his new card DVD, both are great. Seller I got these from is: http://shop.ebay.com/luci0903/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 He has both of them listed for $20 total including shipping. The carb video shows all the parts needed to do a COMPLETE rebuild, but I doubt many would buy everything he shows. I got a gallon of the carb cleaner he recommends using from AutoZone, called Berryman's Gary Edited January 8, 2011 by dingy fixed link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted January 8, 2011 Yes it was Fleabay. $16 including shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyDog Posted January 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 8, 2011 When you get ready, I would be interested in viewing the engine rebuild DVD. Just let me know what you need for shipping to my Arkansas address (72081). I can view it quickly and get it back in a timely manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack Posted January 8, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 8, 2011 I bought it. You can borrow my copy. Thanks, Randy! One of these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted January 8, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 8, 2011 Try this link, it is to sellers page that has his items listed for sale. http://shop.ebay.com/luci0903/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 I know Bongo is trying to help by offering this, but if you take into consideration the quality of this video and the time it took this man to make it, it is certainly worth the small fee he is asking to buy a copy from him. I received both of the DVD's I bought within three days of paying. He is offering both the engine video DVD and the Carb video on a second DVD for $20 bucks for both including shipping, that is not much considering what one will spend in parts if you do undertake rebuilding a motor or carbs. Or you can get the motor for $16 including shipping, the carb DVD is $13 including shipping. He did not have the carb video when I first got the motor DVD. He has some clips of segments of both DVD linked to the Ebay pages that show some of the content. Just for info, the motor video only shows rebuilding the motor, it is in a completely stripped down and prepped condition when video starts. He even goes into how to properly size the main bearings as the are not all the same. Carb video shows the carbs off the bike, but the disassembly of them is shown.

Blackjack Posted January 8, 2011 Share #9 Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks, Gary, for the improved link (which works fine)! For those that can afford to acquire the videos, you are correct, in that it's always great to support those who make a worthwhile contribution and/or have a great product at a wonderful price. In this case I would say this person has accomplished both. For those that are not able to make the purchase, "Hat's Off" to both Bob and Randy for offering to make their copies available. Either way, as Forum Members, we win. Now, how cool is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share #10 Posted January 9, 2011 When you get ready, I would be interested in viewing the engine rebuild DVD. Just let me know what you need for shipping to my Arkansas address (72081). I can view it quickly and get it back in a timely manner. No problem!! Of course, I'm going to errr... experiment... and see if I can save a copy to my computer... just to see if it can be done, mind you, and, errr... if I can burn a copy on some form of media say, a flash drive, or perhaps a plastic disc, well...
