Help, Running way to Rich!

Ok, here is the lowdown. I changed my stat from a 160 to a 180. And now the engine will last for 30 seconds, throw the SES light and stall out. WTF? Now it was close to runnin out of gas when I was doing this. So I figured I just ran out of gas. So I went up to the gas station (with my brothers gas can which he uses for his dirtbike, but it was empty and I cleaned it out just to make sure) and went and bought 5 gallons of 92. Put it in and it stalled out again. Ran for 30 seconds fine, then sputers out and stalls with the SES flashing when it sputers. So whats up? Why is it running so rich now? Hell, I looked out my exaust tips and there was a SH-T load of carbon deposit everywhere on the floor from just starting it and revving it. Then there is this plug. BTW: This plug is only 3 months old!
