I hope this is not a reposted question but I am looking for some info on BikeCliff's Carb Specs. My forum search tool is telling me "Fatal Error" so I cannot preform a thorough search.

I have an 1983 GS 850G which isn't listed on the BikeCliff's Table. However, if memory serves me, I have seen "45160" stamped on the side of carbs and all of the other specs in the "82 GS 850" row match what I see on my carbs. So I use this row as a reference for my bike.
I am familiar with many of the items in BikeCliff's table simply because I have torn down and put my carbs back together several times. Each time taking time to identify and learn a bit more about different circuits in the carburetor.
I am not sure about the following.
Main Air Jet mm - Where is this located in the carburetor? Does anyone have a picture of it being measured?
Throttle Valve - Is this the butterfly valve that the throttle cable controls?
Bypass mm - I have no idea what this is. My best deductive reasoning skills have come up with nothing!
Pilot Outlet mm - Could someone tell, better show, where this is and how to measure it?
Starter Jet # - Is this related to the choke slide? Is it stamped on there somewhere that I have missed?
And please, if anyone is looking for an explanation of other items listed here, post your questions and I will do my best to explain what I know about these parts.
Cheers,
