Default Fouled plugs?

How can I tell if my plugs are fouled? It may have just flooded out, how can I tell? I stalled it out on a hill like a retard. It started right back up, but quickly started losing power. It didn't sound healthy either. I let it sit for a few and finally got it to start back up, it seems to run fine now, just like it did before i got stupid. Anything else I should look at? That jet kit can be hell sometimes.
on me

well, you can notice if plugs are done, if the tip of the plug is rounded or chipped. also, try grounding your plug to the frame, and crank, if there are any sparks, it should be ok.

another point is, if the plugs are black, that will tell you you are running rich, and if the plugs are light brown, its in good shape. white means you are running lean.
