Carbs 101

Any idea of good literature I can pick up to learn about carbs and how they work, from a level 1 perspective?

My truck is the first carburated vehicle I have ever owned, and we just got ready to start her up today, but I know nothing about the carb sitting on top of it and couldnt get it started.....anyone know of a good book to learn from?

thanks

and of course, Bubba's 2150 mecca. If you have the stock carb, its probably this.
