"Pump exhaust valve", number 11 in the diagram. Its purpose is to bleed off some of the accelerator pump shot. A "zero" bypass jet indicates that it has no bypass hole in the side.

The air horns smooth the airflow into the carb, increasing power. They come in different sizes so you can fine-tune the length of your intake system.

Also, are you sure you have 47mm main venturis in a 48 IDA? That doesn't even seem possible, and certainly not recommended.
