The pot #3 is for high speed fuel and unless you spend a lot of time above 4K, it isn't going to make a large difference in the MPG. The pots to make MPG differences in order of the importance is pot #2 and then pot #1

What position is Pot #4. That is the xfer point setting for pot 3 as Glider suggested. Transition point may be set too low.
Sorry it took so long to jump back into this.
I've gotten my mileage back into the low 40's so I'm happy again.
I think the main thing that solved the problem was that I adjusted the #5 setting (yellow/blue = acceleration switch point) from 4 up to 5. This allowed me to do some easy accelerating without jumping from cruise mode to acceleration mode. In other words, I have to get on the throttle much harder to get it to transition into the accel mode.
I also lowered the #1 setting (green = cruise) from 3 1/2 down to 3.
So now my settings are as follows:
1 - Green - 3
2 - Yellow - 2
3 - Red - 2
4 - Green/Blue - 1/2
5 - Yellow/Blue - 5
6 - Red/Blue - 6

Actually don't see an "exact" model for your year bike. (?) But that is their Quick List.
EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection Controllers - ATVs, UTVs, Motorcycles, Snowmobiles, Scooters, Sport Bikes, Watercraft
Your actually a 1252ST correct?
Thanks Doc -
Hoop - my bad on the mod# - I wasn't anticipating getting into a troubleshooting dialogue so didn't provide the exact model info.
But it's a FI- 1252ST.
If the moderators would like to move this into the proper topic section as a new topic, that'd be fine. If keeping it here is ok...that's fine too
But that's the model I have Hoople....thanks for assisting

That is really the smart thing to do 1st. That will get you a solid baseline so you can compare. Right now you could have something like a weeping injector and never know it. Turning the pots "twice around" won't fix that.
Remove the ground. You should see a big uplift in mileage. If you don't, then address that issue first.
Your pot settings don't look that terrible. The #4 pot could be a little higher but I can't believe that is what is eating all the gas.
I would do the test first. That will get you a baseline.
