My motor seems to be using way

My motor seems to be using way more fuel this year then last. I recently changed the spark plugs and fogged the carbs to clean out build up.

Checked that and they are secu

Checked that and they are securley attached. I am going to rebuild the fuel pump and replace the diaphragm.
