I know, half of you are saying, “carbu-what?”, and my other reader already did it. Having grown up with fuel-injected cars since about 1989, I myself was not sure what to do with the carburetor, although I knew rebuilding it could help my rough-running situation. My Lancia Beta had sat in a barn or outside for several years, and from working on an old Packard roadster at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum I knew that fuel could turn into a nasty shellack-y mess in cars that are stored long-term without proper prep. To get some basic understanding of how a carb works, I found a page at howstuffworks.com for basics. While they talk about a chainsaw carb, the basic concepts still apply.
