Icon2 1983 Honda Magna Fuel Consumption

Alright, well I definitely need some input. I have a 1983 Honda Magna V45 and its getting a wopping 20 mpg, I shanged the air and fuel filters and its done nothing to help. I have been slowly trying to fix it on account of the fact it was in poor shape when I bought it. What could be my problem?

Did you take the carbs off and clean them yet?
When you cleaned the carbs did you set the float height?
When you put the carbs back on did you sync them?
Does the bike have the stock air filter and exhaust sys?
What size are the carb jets? (bigger than stock ?)
Were there any cracks in the intake boots?
