Very comprehensive Mikuni tuning guide

I found this very comprehensive Mikuni turning guide on the internets. Most principles would apply to any typical carb. This also discusses multiple carb bikes and synchronization.

For those looking for a good animation of a carb in action check out 3:30 on this video.
