Just kartin' around....
Your jet size should be around #88-#90...... #90 is gonna seem a little rich on the low end, but my gx160 loves it. Im actually a TAD bigger than a #90 cuz i did it myself, and I use a lot more fuel than before, but have no bogging issues. Idles good, ROARS with a snap of the throttle, and revs to around 6400 before i let off the throttle.

oops i meant .035 through .038 (now that i am looking it up they are from .033 to .038)
What are the units on these, what does this translate to for the #s?

Black plug means too rich..... Oh , I was wrong about my engine.... Im running a gx140 (5hp) Honda...... But its all the same.... And my main jet is really the equivalent of a #106, as the bore size is approximately .042"..... Thats why i use so much gas, but my plug is in the proper color range, so I know that Im getting a good fuel mix. I made my own intake and bought a free flow air cleaner. You can make an air filter adapter for less than $10 and a trip to homedepot (hardware store)....... and it will work better than the stock air box, and just as good as a "store bought" kind....
The most important thing, is to read your plug after any changes are made. Sure, you might end up buying a few plugs, but they are cheap, and reading them can keep you from frying your engine......
EDIT
that studdering is more than likely you engine looking for the air it needs to burn the new fuel load....

Well I ordered a spacer and free flow filter and the 140 tube and some 18lbs springs so hopefully that will get me where I want to be

I get confused with these things, but I think you need a billet con rod when 18# springs are used...
Someone will chime in to correct me...
OP, What is this spacer you refer to??

You are correct, only if the governor has been removed

He's referring to the intake filter housing/mount/adapter.

If the governor is removed, yes you do! The AGK performance tutorial assumes the governor is intact & operational, read the fine print...
However, we have recently seen that even billet conrods are not infallible

Then the wrong numbers were entered my guess... #`s don't lie.
