I hope that the fuel lines have this mystery holes in it, and takes care of the problem. But not sure what the mpg problem is yet. Might be spring before I can get that one figured out with the lack of riding time around here now.

mpg can go down due to a low pressure problem the leaking lines can be all the same issue mpg can go down because its too lean as well as too rich, to determine that many other things need to be looked at but I would start with the lines. best guess from here is thats all your problems
