Default I think I've been tinkering to much

I had my carb apart to day cleaning it and I forgot to tighten the main jet. I run it down the road and all was fine untill my main jet came unscrewed. I limped it back home pull the carb off and found the main jet unscrewed. Of course it was getting to much gas and now it won't run right. Acts like it missing and poping back threw the exhaust could I have fouled a plug?

If you had some way of measuring 13.5 ounces or 400ml that should get you to 1 5/8".

Someone had a good reply to that question before but i can't remember.
I think he used a feeler gage, bent a wire hanger or something.
