FCR How much gasoline is accumulated in the float chamber of the FCR carburetor?...
For the FCR carburetor on the CBX1000, it holds about 100cc to 150cc. I took some photos when I changed the slow jet. I will be discussing how to handle gasoline when changing the main jet or slow jet on the FCR carburetor.

FCR FCR Tuning - Re-synchronization after adjusting the throttle cable - 2023-08-01...
I synchronize the FCR carburetors on my CBX1000 more than 10 times a year. Whether 10 times is a lot or not, I’m not sure. It’s not that I feel the synchronization has drifted while riding and then correct it. Rather, it’s because minor misalignments occur when I perform tuning and have to remove and reattach parts.

Maintenance Spark Plug Replacement - The Idling of Carbureted Engines Smells Like Gasoline...
If you feel that the idling is off, replacing the spark plugs and then re-tuning is a viable option. Tuning involves various interconnected factors, and the spark plugs might be one of the causes of irregular idling. By replacing the spark plugs, you eliminate one potential concern.

FCR 3 Reasons Why Used FCR Carburetors Can Be Used...
When you perform the overhaul yourself, it generally ends up being quite cost-effective. This is specifically if you handle the overhaul personally. If you don’t have jets and other parts on hand, it's recommended to use the Carburetor Parts Kit for FCR - KEYSTAR. If you already have some FCR parts, you can buy individual parts separately and complete the overhaul that way.

FCR FCR requires a filter for street use. Constant use of a velocity stack is not recommended....
This applies not only to FCRs but to all carburetors in general: going filterless on the street is not recommended. This is because it sucks in debris. I will write a column discussing why it’s better to avoid this and what you should do instead.

CBX1000 Carburetor synchronization is not the kind of maintenance where you can fail – the challenging part is the preparation....
Carburetor synchronization is a task that can be considered simple. The challenging part is that the preparation before the task can be a high hurdle for beginners. Once the preparation is complete, most people are able to successfully perform the synchronization on their own.

Maintenance Work at the rental pit on 2023-03-27 - Synchronization of the FCR carburetor and spark plug replacement were completed....
Recently, I completed the front tire replacement for the CBX1000. Today, I finished the FCR synchronization work, replaced the spark plugs, and performed another round of synchronization. Additionally, I have also completed the preparation for an oil change. I replaced the oil filter and drained the oil.

Maintenance Work at the rental pit on 2023-03-25 - Installing the FCR and removing the front tire...
This is part of the winter maintenance work on my CBX1000. The plan for today was to replace the vacuum release plate and complete the synchronization work, but due to an easy mistake, I drained the battery. I’ve changed the plan to get the work done up to just before the synchronization and also complete the removal and installation of the tires.

Maintenance Work at the rental pit - 2023-03-24 - Removal of FCR carburetor. Removal of throttle valve....
Winter Maintenance on the CBX1000 - I’m gradually progressing with the work at the rental pit. It’s better than not making any progress at all. I tried to get as much done as possible, even if it was just for an hour. The tasks completed so far include removing the FCR carburetor and taking out the throttle valves inside it.

Maintenance I got the spark plug wet! If you use the accelerator pump too much, you will get into big trouble....
This is a story about when the spark plug gets wet. When the spark plug gets wet, it means that the engine is having a hard time starting and gasoline is sprayed onto the spark plug, making it wet. The same applies if there is oil on the spark plug. It also includes other things like carbon buildup.
