Instructions are as close as your library. Check out a service manual. What "tricks" or "tweaks" are you referring to? For what purpose? If those carbs have idle mixture screws, before you remove them, turn them all the way in counting the exact number of turns. Write that down and then set them the same way when you reassemble the carbs. You need to do that for each carb since they will likely be different. If you have already been messing with them, you will need to reset them properly when you are done.
