Strong gas smell from carb after running

If you smell raw fuel after your car has sat in the garage for some time your carb may be slow dripping fuel into your intake via needle seat or an "o" ring seal. Check your float level / sight screws before shutting off your motor at night. They should be where you left them the following day. Other symptoms might be hard starting after sitting a while. More concerning would be fuel smell on the oil dip stick requiring the oil/filter also be changed.
