ANSWER: Hi Ralph.  This is not a DIY job.  I strongly recommend that you have the jet replaced professionally, because if you get it wrong you could damage the carburetter, possibly beyond repair.

QUESTION: DEAR SIR:
YOU MAY BE RIGHT  
ABOUT TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE REPLACE THE JET ,BUT I WANT TO TRY IT MYSELF, I HAVE BEEN WORKING AROUND CARS FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS, HAD A 1958 MGA  BEFORE THIS 1976 MGB

THANK YOU

Answer
Order the jet from Moss Motors, and when it arrives have a look at it.  From memory, I think it is a press fit, not a screw fit.  You have got to extract the old jet and press the new one in.  I must admit that I have never done one.  If you do it wrong, you end up with an oversize hole in the carb body and then the carb is scrap.
