Take the air cleaner housing off and inspect the tiny rubber boot on the accelerator pump which sits atop your carburetor. Right up front. Has a lever attached with a pin retainer.

 

Could be something else but that is a current problem for a couple of us with old carbs.

Does it start to act up as well? Or just the smell of fuel?
