RE: Gas smell

Paul, I first have to ask do you see any puddles or wettness around the carb., fuel lines, and gas tank? I first check out the enging bay( base of carb., lines, and fuel pump), then follow the lines back to the tank. Look for signs of wettness (gas will leave a stain look even after it evaporates). Inspect the rubber hoses looking for dry rot or cracks, Inspect the filler neck boot for dry rot and cracks. Also, look the tank over real good for leaks or cracks. If you still can't find anything, I'd drop the tank and check the rubber hoses that connects at the gauge. O, also check the gas tank cap, it could be leaking when the gas sloches back and forth while you are driving. Hope this helps. RC
