I'm Definitely a Carb Newb!

I'll admit... I know a bit about EFI systems but I have NO CLUE about Carbs.. I know what it does but not sure what all the little things are..

Would it be possible for you to do a write up about the basics of Carb?

I only ask this because I have a 12A RX-2 with stock Carb set up. I'll admit, I didn't build it and its tune by my engine builder who's an expert in carb set up. I'm suppose to learn more about it thru him but I figure others like me might want to learn more about it.

Thanks!

Yeah, I plan to. I'm still working on pages for my website (it's not finished), but I have no problem putting the generic parts up here, as they pertain to all carbs and how they work.
It's like anything else; it looks like magic if you don't know anything about it, but once you see the magicians tools, it makes you feel silly to think you were so dumbfounded by it.
-It really is simple to understand.
I plan to put up carb theory, general carb troubleshooting, and rebuilding tips.

Is there any possible way to also put up how to boost prep a carb as well, or will it be something that will easily be understood once you get an explanation behind all the parts and how it works?
