    main jet? how in the world would that fall off. the main jet is casted in and if it's not casted in the they should be able to screw aor glue it back in... the main jet really can't go anywhere but rattle around in the float bowl.

    primary jet maybe? it had the word jet and some important word like primary or main in front of it. I don't know. I don't even know what a carboratour is, let alone how to spell its name

    It seems rebuilding that carb is a waste of time anyway.. Never works the same once it is rebuilt.
