Doug Roe's book on rebuilding Rochester Q-Jets gives a decent idea on how carbs work. A lot of it depends on pressure differentials across various areas in the carb. Any good carb book should do you well.

YEP! All you need to know is in Doug Roes book (get latest issue!)and
the name "LARS",his papers are worth their weight in gold! Infact this guy should be known as SAINT LARS OF COLORADO.for all the dedicated help and assistance he has given to so many lost and confused souls.Lastly the Holly and Carter variants of the Rochester book (H.P.Books) are really worth a look too.
