P.S. And I knew to come back and check with you guys stopped by the dealership cause I also buy my hay for my horse from the owner and the mechanic told me to drop the main jet down to a 145 which seemed a little crazy even to a non-mechanic like me, seemed a little drastic

I'd be running from that wrench. 145 is way too small. I'd suggest you first check float level, if it needs adjustment, do that then check again mpg's. Reason I say to check float 1st, if ya don't have to drop the bowl, one less thing to do, same with adjusting the pilot screw, don't have to open the carb yet. If that's good and no adjustment necessary, try leaning the pilot screw by 1/4 to 1/2 turn then check mpg's, (lean is in on the screw) Just don't go too lean where you get excessive decell popping, certainly do not want backfiring. Some popping is considered normal, especially from decelling from a high rate of speed. Last to try would be the 170 Mikuni main jet, then ya have to drop the bowl.
