Carburetor Tuning: Anyone recommend a good Carburetor tuning manual?

I'm looking for a good carburettor tuning manual (and I don't mean the Jenk's guide!). I'm looking for something that I can use with the Keihin CVK 36 (stock on the Bonneville) as I'm trying to iron out some problems with pilot-slide/needle transition on another thread. I haven't been able to find any decent books on the net and the website stuff can be hit-and-miss, not to mention feedback from various tuning centres, which I've found in some cases to be completely contradictory from one centre to another.

By the way, here are some weblinks some people might find useful on general carb tuning etc and if you want to add any other carb tuning/ maintenance/ theory links here then that might be a useful resource for everyone:
