Not sure what your asking. The stock air screw setting is 2.25 turns if thats what you want.

Chances are if you can smell gas your floats are stuck.

It seems like i am running rich. I want to lean the mixture. I am not sure how to lean with a 160 main jet. I have not change any other jets in the carb.

Need to know all your mods to help. I'm assuming by your name you have an HMF slipon. Airbox lid on or off? Any motor Mods? Need all this info to help.

Needless to day if you have a few mods your jetting sounds close. You wouldn't smell gas...it just wouldn't run right. If your smelling gas it's probably leaking from stuck floats out of the over flow. Has your gas mileage been sucking lately?

Take the bottom of the bowl off your carb. There is probably dirt in your needle and seat. I really don't think this has anything to do with jetting.
