Finally have some time here to post my outcome with my srx using too much fuel. It was the fuel pump. I changed it a couple of weeks ago and the fuel mileage is way better. Thanks for all the help and advice, this sled really works well now. I am getting around 200 km on a tank and the speedo is reading 200kph for the first time since I had it. Season is over for me now but looks like I will be looking forward to another season with this machine. Going to be a long summer.

glad you found the issue. Reason i recommended the fuel pump as the problem was i have found two of them to be bad this year when guys could not get their sleds to stop throwing gas out of the carb throats and vents

$110 can. from the dealer but could not get one in time for me, so I bought used from a 98 for 40 bucks. Will probably get a brand new pump for next season, though, as this seems to have solved the problem and to be on the safe side. The carbs are still spitting out a little mist into the airbox, so I think this is normal. That accounts for the black drool you see under the airbox on eveyone's srx.
