Default Fuel Smell from Intake
I have a scent of fuel, and its coming from the intake (filter, I sniffed it to there).

Is that just a "rich" problem, or something deeper?

Put some glue in there and take a whiff again. It should help you forget all your troubles.

Sorry, I am of no help.

After I posted, I pulled a plug. The circular area surrounding the electrode was black with some residue. She's definitely running rich.

I'll lower the fuel pressure, and see what that does.
