I've got several Weber books.  The most accessible is the Haynes manual,
making sure that it covers your carb.  I tend to use only DCOE's, and
they're always covered, but you may have a different model.  Make sure to
read and understand the principals of Weber operation, and that will give
you much insight into what's happening inside the thing.  They are simple
devices, but like many simple things, subtle in operation.
