last set up 3yr ago..jeez! lol well is your exhaust covered in black soot at the tailpipe? if so then its overfueling, so theirfore its not leaking! i cant think why tho. did u check the engine bay for leaks wilst it was running? makesure they new fuel filter isnt leaking also!

is air flow flap inside air filter sticking open slightly this can cause them to over fuel maybe why your smelling feul all the time :?
