Welcome back Tricia.
Lean (turn up the nuts) the carbs out about a 1/2 a turn each.
Just count the flats, you should hear it smooth out or idle up just a 
bit. Remember how many flats on each carb you turn the nuts incase you 
have to put it back.

When I was in the rockys with my Sprite, I leaned it out quite a bit.
When I got back to sea level, I got great gas mileage :)
Then I stuck a Weber on it and now I'm lucky to see 20 mpg.
