Default Rupert carb problems..

Here's some info I can share. Rupert 1150 carb came with 172 jets, enderly belt driven pump with bypass loop and (i believe) 180 pill up to carb. The car ran awesome in Ohio (Base of 800' corrected 1900) and has now moved to Canada (base altitute 2300' corrected 4300'). I had a hard time getting heat into the car. I'd lean out till 155 and as soon as I shut the valve temp would start dropping. Dropped the jets to 164 and can now regulate temp (leave at 150 finish at 170) but I am going through an average of 2 gallons a run (towing back). Even the original owner said that is double what he used. Any suggestions would be appriciated.
