Default Overfueling on 3 Door Cos ????

Hi,
I have got a 3 door cossy which runs fine & pulls like a train, however I have noticed it does smell strong when stood behind (or following behind in a car) of petrol in the exhaust. Is this normal, I have picked up from the discussions that they shouldn't run lean, is there a way to check the fueling or should I take it to a specialist (I live near to Motorsports Developments). There is no smoke but I am wondering if it is overfueling if it will harm it. Thanks in advance.

book it in mate and get it checked, best be safe than sorry, plus if the thing is over fuelling, once set up it will run a lot better
