new to carbs.....best way to learn about them?

I know almost nothing about carbs but I'm going to be putting one on my car soon and there's one on my g/f's car so I better learn pretty quick.

What's the best way to learn about how a carb works? I mean I don't even know what many of the parts are called.

Is there a good book out there?

I'll learn quick I just need to have the knowledge available to me.

Thanks

That sounds kinda dirty. Since noone else would know I should tell you that we shaved her privates.... no no that's not it. We put new carpeting in her car last weekend.

Rob, sure bring some books over next time I see you. While your at it... how about the creeper you meant to bring over for a month and my brake cleaner spray.
