As Robert said, you'll hear (and feel) the difference when an idle jet is plugged. If the air cleaners fit well and you're careful any time they're taken off and put back on it won't be a regular occurrence, but it does happen occasionally, so get used to doing it.  Do you have either the allen key or hex head type idle jet holders? They make the whole procedure way easier. And Pat D's checking for the cold exhaust tube is a great tip- that way it's not such a trial and error thing.

Btw- main jets almost never plug- they're 2 1/2- 3 times bigger than the idles and it would take a pretty big piece of crap to pull that off. Al
